Waterford Hurling Manager Fitzgerald to undergo heart surgery...

Waterford hurling manager Davy Fitzgerald is to undergo cardiac surgery later this week.

The 37-year-old will be admitted to a Dublin hospital on Wednesday to have stents inserted into one of the arteries around his heart because of a blockage. He recently visited a doctor after feeling unwell and was shocked to learn that he would need the operation at such a young age.

Fitzgerald is a non-drinker and non-smoker, but it was stated that there is a history of heart conditions in his family.
