Déise chief urges Fitzgerald to stay on

WATERFORD GAA chairman Tom Cunningham wants Davy Fitzgerald to remain in charge of the county’s senior hurling team next year.

Cunningham said last night that Fitzgerald’s role “is a decision for the clubs of the county and the county board” but stressed that he like to see the former Clare goalkeeper stay on.

Cunningham said: “Davy’s contract is up and it’s up to us to negotiate a new contract with him. What we usually do, and this is normal procedure, is that we appoint four executive officers to come back with a recommendation.
