Local heroes get a mention on Sunday Game

    Did anybody watch the 'Sunday Game' last night on RTE 2?

    I was delighted to see some of our Senior hurlers getting a much deserved mention in the 'Team of 2007':

    Tony Browne
    Ken McGrath
    Michael 'Brick' Walsh
    Dan 'The Man' Shanahan

    The above were picked by the pundits last night. Fantastic to see four lads from the Waterford team getting credit where it's well due. I might point out too that Stephen Molomphy narrowly lost out to (I think) J Tyrrell of Kilkenny but that could have gone either way as they said.

    When asked for 'Hurler Of The Year' all three pundits unamiously picked the one & only.....Dan Shanahan!

    Well done lads, ye done us all proud. Well done to all on the team, to Justin, to everybody involved. You've given us a fantastic year of hurling, one we'll never forget (for all the right reasons),a sheer credit to you and here's to next year!

    Up the Deisé!

    Let's hope it's reflected in the Allstars

    Absolutely! Big Dan should definitely get HOTY, no doubt about it IMO.

    All the other lads mentioned deserve All Stars this year too.

    Take Tony Browne for example, the cornerstone of Deisé hurling for over a decade now, let's hope he can add a hat-trick to his collection from 2006 & 1998.

    I'd love to see 'The Brick Walsh' anointed with his first, his leadership qualities shone through this year & let's hope there's plenty more to come.

    Ken is no stranger to an All Star or two either. His outstanding ability to catch ball when it really matters is nothing short of amazing, just one of his many skills & accuracies.

    I know! Sounds strange when you think of it. Every year they're always in there. (Perhaps the ban had an influence over it)?

    Maybe the official results will differ. Let's hope the nominations for our lads remain the same though.

    Waterford people - forget about recent threads on this Waterford section such as traffic jams & pizza:rolleyes:

    This is what you should be talking about.

    Well done to our 5 all stars, and our local hurler of the year!;)

    Hip Hip Hurrah!
