Waterford appoint Mcgrath as new hurling manager

The Waterford County Board have confirmed the identity of the county's new senior hurling manager tonight and as widely anticipated, Derek McGrath has got the job.

McGrath guided De La Salle to the Waterford SHC title last year and emerged as the favourite to take on the Déise role, which has been vacant since Michael Ryan resigned in August following a vote where the majority of the players did not want him to continue.
