Davy For Capital Hurling Job?

Dublin GAA chiefs have rubbished suggestions that Waterford boss Davy Fitzgerald is to be appointed director of hurling in the capital, reports today's Irish Examiner.

“That’s news to me,” said Dublin county board chairman Gerry Harrington. “We have a director of hurling already, Colm Burchill, who’s doing a very good job and we’re very happy with him. There are no announcements about this matter coming down the line as far as I know.”

Speculation was rampant in Waterford yesterday that Fitzgerald was on the brink of a dramatic move to Dublin to take up the position of director of hurling in the capital, and when efforts to contact the former Clare ‘keeper and Waterford county board chairman Pat Flynn proved unsuccessful, the rumour mill went into overdrive.
