Let Austin Gleeson be his own man, insists Ken McGrath

Ken McGrath begins to feel his age as he discusses the All-Ireland final between Waterford and Galway.

The four-time Waterford All-Star is specifically discussing Austin Gleeson and which Galway player he thinks might mark him.

“From a Waterford point of view, I’d like to see him on Gearoid McInerney and see if he can bring him on a tour of Croke Park to test out the legs on the big day,” said McGrath, before starting to smile. “I actually made my own debut on McInerney’s father so you know I’m getting old! That was in 1996, in Dungarvan. We were watching the Galway-Tipperary semi-final there recently in Mount Sion having a few pints and I was telling the lads that one, they were laughing.”
