Mullane will be back, says Davy

Former Waterford boss Davy Fitzgerald believes John Mullane will return to intercounty hurling.

Mullane shocked the GAA world by announcing his retirement last month but Fitzgerald, now in charge of his native Clare, is convinced the De La Salle star will again feature for his county.

“From what I’ve heard John is adamant he won’t be back, but never say never because this guy loves hurling,” said Fitzgerald said at yesterday’s Allianz League launch at Croke Park.
