Shanahan rues loss of Mahony for season
The wing back suffered an horrific broken ankle following an innocuous incident during Ballygunner’s game against Ardmore. Mahony, who made his championship debut in 2012, was carried off the field in the second half and taken immediately to Whitfield Clinic in the county.
Shanahan said: “He has been outstanding all year. He has been Waterford’s most consistent back. For the effort he has put in throughout the year, it’s a massive shock for us. He took a year out last year and he came back absolutely hopping. He has looked after himself brilliantly.
