Mahony on course for Munster decider

Waterford hurler Pauric Mahony has made a quicker than expected recovery from groin surgery and is in line to play some part in Sunday week's Munster SHC final against Tipperary.

Having been troubled by a groin injury during the Allianz League, Mahony went under the knife in May and it was initially thought that he would miss the Déise's entire Championship campaign.
