Waterford captain Pauric Mahony will miss the 2020 All Ireland hurling championship with a knee injury.
The 28 year old came off in a challenge game against Wexford over the weekend. The news comes less than two weeks away from Waterford's Munster semi final against Cork in Semple Stadium.
Mahony has shot over 500 points for the Déise since his senior debut in 2011.
He was top scorer in the county final two months ago as Ballygunner completed seven in a row against Passage. The centre forward completed the championship with 1-47.
Pauric Mahony will miss the 2020 season due to a knee injury. Liam Cahill, his team and all in Waterford GAA would like to wish Pauric a speedy and full recovery.
