Derek McGrath looks for assurances

Derek McGrath said he is keen to remain on as Waterford manager but stressed he will first require assurances.

County board chairman Paddy Joe Ryan publicly stated earlier this summer he was agreeable to offering the De La Salle man a new term.

“I’m talking to Paddy Joe about that at the moment. They’re keen and I’m keen but I’m qualifying it by saying I’m very disappointed today. I’m not going to go down the route of saying ‘it’s not a time to talk about it’.
