Herity’s crucial save leaves Hickey relieved

AS a forward with the Kilkenny footballers, David Herity was once accustomed to poaching for goals. As goalkeeper for the senior hurlers, it is his job to prevent them.

It is to his credit that green flags have been just as hard to come by in his new job.

Against Wexford three weeks ago, the Dunamaggin clubman’s saves helped stem any sniff of a comeback from the home side and his intervention yesterday did likewise just when Dublin were threatening to rekindle a contest.
