Ryan hopeful Mullane will give it a final shot for Waterford

Waterford hurling boss Michael Ryan says he’s optimistic that forward ace John Mullane won’t call time on his inter-county career for another year at least.

Ryan has already lost two members of his attacking set-up – Eoin Kelly and Eoin McGrath – to retirement.

And now five-time All Star Mullane is a worry after claiming he is seriously considering his future at the top level.
