Cold shoulder: Waterford's Dan Shanahan shuns manager Justin McCarthy after being substituted in the team's Munster Hurling Championship defeat by Clare. The gesture is the first visible sign that tensions were high in the Waterford camp, resulting in the county's most successful manager in decades resigning from his post a few days later. However, Waterford got a new manager in Davy Fitzgerald, and the county reached the All-Ireland hurling final for the first time in 45 years.
