The one that got away for Nicky Power

In the latter half of the 1950s and throughout the following decade, Nicky Power was one of the great hurlers.

Yet he never got his hands on an All-Ireland. The divide of the River Suir and local club rivalry saw him switch from the Déise to Kilkenny colours. Geography reared its head again as he was cut from the black and amber in their 1963 All-Ireland-winning year

Asound performer for the Waterford U21s in their recent Munster final victory over Tipperary was midfielder Mark O’Brien.
