Pauric Mahony admits he wouldn’t have appeared like a hurler in the fullness of his health prior to the Munster Championship.

Recovering from a cruciate tear in October 2020, his second such injury, the Waterford star only returned to action last September and admitted he wasn’t setting the world alright. Unlike yesterday’s Munster SHC club final when he looked close to his best.
