Waterford hurling manager Derek McGrath admits he had to consider his position before committing to a fifth year in charge. The Deise boss says he was ready to step down after their All-Ireland final loss to Galway but changed his mind after speaking to the players and management team. Galway won the game 0-26 to 2-17 having not tasted All-Ireland success in 29 years. Waterford have not lifted the Liam McCarthy Cup in for 59 years and McGrath wanted to be sure the motivation was there for another shot at ending their famine. Can you find a different way - do you need to find a different way?
