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.

Ah poor Sir Bobby. If something wakes him, he is a nightmare to get down again
Is it just me or does anyone else dislike the idea of using a headbutt? Always seems a bit knackery to me
Roy is awful Keane on starting fights if you’ll pardon the pun
Please stop….
He has proved time and time again that he has serious temper issues and has over inflated opinions of himself, but when it comes to actually doing it himself, as a manager, he can’t do it. Brilliant footballer but essentially a gobdaw
Now that’s what I call a proper Football Bio anecdote. Granted there is a bit if the old ultra violence thrown in which may not be to everyone’s taste. But like with most things with Keane, it ain’t dull.
And You @Lesley have grounds to Make a comment like that????Bit of a stupid thing to say.
