Mick Flan

We again with sadness must remember the late Mick Flannelly who passed away on Saturday last. Flan won 15 Senior Hurling and 4 Senior Football medals with Mount Sion, while also captaining the Waterford Minors of 48 to All Ireland glory. He was also on the great team of 59 and won a Senior All Ireland to go with 3 Munster and National League and Oireachtas medals. Mick also played Railway Cup with Munster. A stellar career making him the most decorated of all Waterford Hurlers. To his wife Patty, daughters Joanne and Críona as well as his wider family we offer our deepest condolences. Are dheis Dé go raibh sé.
