Mahony gives ‘stand-in’ free-taker thumbs up

Pauric Mahony has been impressed with how Brian O’Sullivan has performed as Ballygunner’s free-taker.

The pair shared the responsibilities before Mahony took over. However, O’Sullivan was handed back the role when Mahony incurred his season-ending leg injury in the first round of the Waterford championship in May.

O’Sullivan was at his metronomic best in the semi-final win over Fourmilewater, when he fired over eight frees, and again in the final against Tallow where he pointed a brace of frees and a 65.
