Ballygunner manager Jason Ryan has indicated Pauric Mahony should be fit in time for Sunday week’s Munster senior semi-final against Sarsfields.

This quarter-final win over Na Piarsaigh came too soon for the 33-year-old, who starred for the ’Gunners in the closing stages of this year’s Waterford SHC.
