Still sick over that and believe DLS would of won the final that year

Ballygunner do need to sharpen up on some aspects of there game. Hitting long ball will suit Ballyhale esp with the calibre of players they have.

I think it would be a massive boost for Waterford hurling in general if Bgunner were to get over the line. I don’t think there would be any begrudgery towards them for that reason, obviously the county championship is different everyone wants to see them knocked of their perch.

Hard luck to WIT during the week, wouldn’t have been fancied against a fairly star studded NUIG but done well to get out of the group and put up a big fight on the night. Great for so many local lads to get exposure at this level and for the lads on the county panel will bring them on no end. Tom Barron is one that really seems to have brought his Fitzgibbon form into the county setup.

I’ll be shouting for UL to go and win it now with Mike Kiely and Billy Power both hurling really well for them.

Great to see Tadhg back at centre back.

Aussie took a fair bit of punishment last Sunday ; I thought he might have been rested for the Laois match. It will be interesting to see how Fitzgerald & Lynch perform, if coming off the bench.

I would also hazard a guess that if (say) Thurles Sarsfields had won the last eight Tipperary county titles, attitudes towards them would be a little bit different than they would be towards Borris-Ileigh.

Best of luck to Ballygunner today

In fairness Ballygunner Twitter page has been sharing messages of best of luck from other Waterford clubs, saw clonea, portlaw, ferrybank and colligan anyway

decies

Folks any idea best place to park near croker today ?

Mad about baa baas

As a kilkenny man I can't see how any Waterford or kilkenny person would not support a club representing their county in an all Ireland final..I'd imagine the vast majority would feel the same..Best of luck today..if any club deserve one its ballygunner..having said that I hope ye fall short on this occasion.

Club is everything though. The amount of siblings and cousins involved today is unreal..even on opposite teams today with the Mahonys and the reids..adds to the occasion I think..

Best of luck to Ballygunner today and safe travels to all

Let’s go Gunners !!

Point for Ballyhale there for the ref. He signalled advantage was over and then gave the free after goal chance was missed.

PeggyShippen

You can't miss chances like Ballygunnar have. Some of the misses have been shocking. Would it be too much to expect a Waterford team to get to an All Ireland final and not under perform. Stop being so jittery. Terrible game so far. Ballyhale are very poor but they arent going to loom a gift horse in the mouth.

It's still there for Ballygunnar..but they ll probably fold up tent in the second half. I hope to god they get a goal and it settles them

PTH2009

Still in this one but Ballyhale after coping onto what the Ballygunner forwards are trying to do

decies

Come on gunners gotta be more direct seem to be playing soccer out there over complicating it . Stay focused win the 50/50 and take your points !!

Hopontop

As a neutral, think it’s a good game, Ballygunner play some lovely hurling but some very poor wides. Looks like it could go either way

conor05

Ballyhale look more likely to score a goal.

Eoin Cody looks very dangerous.

Still a lot to play though, big second half Coming up

conor05

Game over now but what a save by SOK before the goal.

One of the best saves I’ve ever seen.

Disagree with both points..game far from over..save was hit straight at him with very little power..

Hopontop

Game on! Dessie is class

Hopontop

What a finish!!! What a way to win a game! Congratulations Ballygunner

blueflame

Unbelievable- brilliant and so so proud to those lads

decies

Unbelievable!!!

deiseach

I'm crying here. Well done Ballygunner, and thank you.

PeggyShippen

Delighted for the 'Gunners. You need the bit of luck to win and they had it. Well deserved. They made so many mistakes but kept going and kept going. And the finish at the end,superb. I was afraid it would be another hard luck story for a Waterford team and some of the passes were shocking and the wides...but in the end the right man hot the ball and he knew what he had to do.
