€40 for stands.[/quote

Tickets for the Davin end were only €10 for adults if you booked them online look last week, few of my friends got them.
Good deal that, compared to €40.. Steep enough.

Derek's only downfall here is that he is a realist. He acknowledges where we are at as a team and as a county. Unfortunately some of the nay-sayers like yourself cannot see it. He is in the process of piecing together a system to bring the county forward. Once these young players develop and are ingrained into this system the good times will start to roll again. There is no doubt about that. These were always going to be a testing few years for Waterford and derek was always going to take the brunt of it. He knew that coming in. There is no quick fix. Like I say he is man with a vision. Its a 3 year plan. We are well on the road. Have faith and patience, things will come good for us.

I'm starting to think you are Derek McGrath , it's really sad what you are writing

Wins for

Ballygunner
Dungarvan
Ballyduff
Roanmore
DLS
Abbeyside....... I have no idea about injury news but Dls would be strong enough to beat 4mile with Moran Mullane and Jake Dillon no?

Moran and Mullane will definitely be around anyway they both came on for the footballers last weekend.

Would have to fancy them if they're taking it seriously. Fourmile looked very good the first day v Aside, though maybe a bit reliant on Barron for scores.

Second day the they met what is clearly a well coached Roanmore side but a poor performance all the same. In fairness, Aside ran DLS close after but it does look like the focus is very much so on the football this year with FMW.

Think Dungarvan should beat Ardmore. They started very poorly v Bgunner, but recovered well and have a good young team.

Impressed with what I saw of BG and they have a 4 in a row winning u21 team, think they'll go a long way to winning the title. And think they'll win this weekend v Mt Sion.

Draw BDuff to beat Tallow. Passage to beat Abbeyside. And Lismore in the other game.

I'd say so, hardly anyone on here in paid employment working in Waterford given how many jobs have been brought to the county by the 2 separate county councils.

I see Kilkenny are red hot favourites with paddy power for the minor on Sunday at 8/15 while Waterford are at 7/4. It'll be a big ask considering St Kierans and Kilkenny CBS played in the schools A final this year and the tradition behind them but if our lads played like they did against Dublin then there wont be much in it.

Alf Tupper

Tallow 1-13 Ballyduff 15 points.

A bit of a shock there, most people would have taken Ballyduff to win that one.

It sounds like it was a thriller, a real local derby. It seems Evan Sheehan's goal before half time was vital.

I was thinking a game of hurling between everyone, I'd say there's enough people on here to make two teams and by the sounds of it some actually play or played hurling, lol, be some game, I'm thinking Waterford vs Clare 1998 style.

An hour of my life I'll never get back! Horrendous stuff,it was as poor a game that I've seen in a longtime. Exciting because it was so close but the standard was diabolical. Tallow won't care as they needed to win badly so its the result that matters at the end of the day! Having seen Ballygunner last night its definitely between themselves,DLS,and maybe Dungarvan for the title. All the rest are just fighting for semi final spots. Looking like Ardmore will make a swift return to intermediate next year.

Moxigan me arse what kind of plebs have we in the county board

All the county minors were not supposed to be playing club this weekend, and rightly so, Sean Hogan still played for Passage. Only minor to break managements rule...

Can understand it but hes not gotten a look in this year has he? Surprised because I thought he was going great for the club last year.

No hasnt been given a chance yet this year, suprising since he was on the panel last year, missed match vs dublin though ( I think, correct me if wrong) and id say will be dropped to the extended panel for tomorrows game!

Yeah he mustn't have made the bench if he was playing today. I agree that matchday players shouldn't be playing club hurling but definitely think the extended panel should be allowed.

For anyone interested:

Lismore bet Roanmore by 2
Abbeyside bet Passage by 3
DLS bet FMW by 8

Don't have the scores to hand/am too lazy to look them up.

This group is really as close as it possibly could be, (bar de la salle)
Who do you think will get through?

Yeah County championship always throws something like this up. Think Lismore definitely will. Roanmore really only need one win I think (even a draw could be enough), the way they're playing could take Abbeyside.

If I had to call it now, I think DLS, Lismore, Passage (think theyll lose to DLS and FMW will lose to Lismore, and just on current form think Passage would win the decider between those teams) and then it comes down to who wins between Aside and Roanmore.

That will be a very close one I'd say, maybe just Aside to shade it as they have the form since the FMW game (only two points off DLS and the win today). Fairplay to Roanmore though, I would have been critical of them at the start but they've obviously done serious work down there.

The other looks fairly clear cut, Tallow should join the top three (BG, Mt Sion and Dungarvan) in the quarters.



Early quarter final line up prediction:

Ballygunner v Abbeyside
Dungarvan v Passage
Mt Sion v Lismore
De La Salle v Tallow

And Ballygunner to win it out.

Getting on the road to Croker shortly. Best of luck to the minors today
