Predator Patrick Curran inspired by heroes Eoin Kelly and Paul Flynn

With 2-25 to his name, Patrick Curran is Waterford’s leading scorer heading into this weekend’s decider, due in no small part, he says, to the two former Déise forwards on the line.

Eoin Kelly and Paul Flynn both accepted the approaches of manager Seán Power last winter and Curran has benefited from the sage advice handed down by the former All Stars.

“They’re brilliant. They’ve played at the top level and done it. You learn something from them every night. You pick up one or two things every time you go training,” remarked Curran.
