Waterford manager Derek McGrath presented a Mass bouquet to his opposite number Eamon O'Shea before yesterday's Allianz Hurling League semi-final after Noel McGrath underwent surgery for testicular cancer on Friday.

"Look, I should say also to put it into perspective in terms of matches…we passed on a Mass bouquet to Eamon in terms of Noel McGrath and hoping he'll get better," the Deise boss told reporters.

"I rang him (Noel McGrath) during the week and was talking to him.

"My own son loves Noel McGrath - he's his favourite hurler so when you compare how joyous we are here with the battle he has ahead of him, perspective will be poured on everything."
