Flynn fired up by young Gunners

FOUR YEARS had passed since Ballygunner won a county senior hurling title in Waterford. The way Paul Flynn sees it, their success this season was based on an influx of youth.

“It was funny, I wouldn’t say the older lads had had enough of it, but if we’d never gotten back there, we’d already done it. The year Ballyduff won we’d have felt was a year we left slip, while with De La Salle we weren’t even involved.

“We won it last in 2005 and players come and go, but this year we’ve had an injection of five or six young players – really good young players – and that’s been the difference between this season and previous years.
