McGrath and management take time to reflect

Family and work commitments may convince Derek McGrath to step down as Waterford manager but he and his management will now take time out to consider their positions.

McGrath has another year left on his current term but would not be drawn on his future yesterday nor did he give away anything in addressing Sunday night’s final banquet on Upper Leeson Street.

“I was keen for it not to become a point of debate afterwards. I was keen just to take the chance for a month or so to think about it and where we are and where it is going and my own commitments to school and family, and we were anxious not to have a debate but there was a lot of good will there towards ourselves, the management and the players in terms of the future.”
