I definately thought it was Shane Mcnulty corner back and Iggy in goal for the whole game too

Shane McNulty played with the WIT Freshers in a challenge game last night in Piltown against a Wexford outfit. Adam O Sullivan played at corner back last night! I think the giveaway was reading on twitter today he being congratulated on his performance last night and he accepting it!

Any news on transfers of any major significance? Is it true Michael Kiely from St Marys is moving to Dungarvan? John O Leary moving back from Mt.Sion to Ballyduff Lower? Is Shane Fives returning to Tourin?

I`m pretty sure Shane Fives is staying in Carrigtwohill!

Where did you hear this from? That really would be wrong on so many levels is there any other county where this stuff is allowed to happen?

You would wonder,Ist time I heard of that happening at Intercounty ,it seems a token jesture to get the Dublin media on board,is all I think.To be so open ,and informative ,sweetens them up.

I could be wrong.You would think if it were the fans,he was doing it for it would be in Waterford ,where a lot can go.

I dont know but I will be there. Anyone like me based in dublin who has travelled on the train from dublin to waterford games will realise just how many loyal supporters the deise has in the capital. Many young but many of the older generation aswell who have been going to matches for decades. Its a terrific idea and shows how in touch mcgrath is.

Also the supporters club up here does phenomenal work aswell.

Perhaps because they are helping to fund the team and want to see the plans he has for their investment?

Derek McGrath held a similar open event in Dungarvan before Christmas. It was designed to let the public know of his plans for his term of office, but I didn't hear how it went.

I don't think the Dublin event is being organised by the Waterford Supporters Club in Dublin, which is a bit strange.

WLR Grandville Award winner to be announced this weekend. Can it be taken that the Minor hurlers will win the overall award. Also has anyone noticed that of the ten monthly winners (none for January or December) that none were presented to someone for something that they did while playing football, and none went to anyone playing Camogie, Ladies Football, Handball, Scor etc. There is more to the GAA in Waterford than hurling.

No Problem. Paul Whyte was outstanding in Waterford's defeat to Galway in the Football qualifiers. Major achievement by De La Salle and Mount Sion in winning the Intermediate and Junior Football Championships after near misses in recent years.

Waterford Ladies Footballers won All-Irelands at under 14 and 16 levels. Some might say at 'B' level but an All-Ireland is an All-Ireland, regardless of the level.

In Camogie, Waterford's under 16's reached the All-Ireland this year. Beth Carton and Brianna O'Regan were outstanding all year for them. Lismore won the Munster Intermediate Camogie Final after a replay against opposition from Clare. By all accounts, Aisling O'Brien for them in the County semi final, final and Munster Final replay excelled.

I would have no problem if the minors won the award and think they will, but my choice would be Patrick Curran, 3 All-Irelands in the one year says it all.
