Maurice Shanahan still holding onto Waterford dream but admits ‘it’s not looking likely’

The phone call from Liam Cahill 18 months ago to tell him he was no longer part of the Waterford set-up was a difficult one to stomach

Maurice Shanahan believes he still has something to offer at inter-county level, but says it is unlikely he’ll ever again pull on the Waterford jersey.

Having featured in three of Waterford’s four championship games during the summer of 2019, Shanahan was dropped from the panel in November of that year by new manager Liam Cahill.
