The Mount Sion stopper who just won't stop

It’s bordering on ageist to suggest Ian O’Regan, at the age of 39, had no right to deny Jack Fagan’s piledriving shot in last Sunday’s Waterford SHC semi-final but he doesn’t mind

It’s bordering on ageist to suggest Ian O’Regan, at the age of 39, had no right to deny Jack Fagan’s piledriving shot in last Sunday’s Waterford SHC semi-final but he doesn’t mind.

Having momentarily slipped his inter-county team-mate Austin Gleeson, De La Salle’s Fagan was found in space and unloaded from inside the 20-metre line. The ball seemed destined for the top left corner of the Mount Sion goalkeeper’s net only for him to scupper it with an acrobatic leap.
