Ex-Déise star Kennedy set to join De La Salle

FORMER Waterford senior hurler Jack Kennedy is on the verge of joining 2010 Munster club champions, De La Salle.

Kennedy’s move from his native Ballyduff Lower will be a major boost to the city side, who are already anchored by Waterford seniors John Mullane and Kevin Moran, as they seek to regain their county senior hurling crown in 2012.

The proposed transfer must still be rubber-stamped at the first Waterford County Board meeting of the year, which is to take place later this month, on January, 23 but it is understood that it is likely to be passed without objections.
