LAST MAY HE suffered a horrific shin break in a game for his club Ballygunner but Pauric Mahony completed his comeback by returning to action today for the Waterford senior hurlers.
Derek McGrath’s side secured a draw with a late point against Galway in this afternoon’s Division 1A Allianz hurling league tie but the best news of the day for Deise followers in Walsh Park was the sight of Mahony coming off the bench.

Mahony was introduced with two minutes of normal time left in a game that saw Waterford and Galway finish level at 0-24 to 1-21.
When Waterford won their third hurling league title last May, it was Mahony who was their chief scorer as he struck 0-11 in the final win over Cork.

But he suffered the season-ending injury six days later in a club match and after a long road to recovery, Mahony made his inter-county comeback this afternoon.
Waterford’s defence of their league crown sees them take on Wexford in a quarter-final tie on 2-3 April and the return of Mahony is a big boost to Derek McGrath’s squad.
