Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

Thanks Mulbert.

Is that it though, have Ballygunner won everything else then in the Roinn A championships from u14 up to u19?

We are delighted to have both Stephen Frampton and Fergal Hartley as our special guest on the evening.

Please join us on the night, spaces are limited 9/12 @ 8pm, a link will be sent to you before the event.

Game of my life is a book about the greatest Waterford hurlers over the last 60 years tell of the games in blue and gold that defined their lives...

Including first person testimonials from many of the stars of recent times detailing the heartbreak of failing to become an All-Ireland winning teams through the 90s, noughties and recent seasons – aswell as some of household names who played on the team that captured the county’s last All-Ireland in 1959 after an historic replayed final win over Kilkenny...

I was of the view that the city leagues were scrapped years ago. Shows how much I know. Maybe it is because they dont get much coverage in the papers.

According to Mac Dara Mac Donncha in today's Dungarvan Leader, Cárthach Daly, Dungarvan's Michael Kiely, Sam Fitzgerald of Clashmore-Kinsalebeg, Mark Fitzgerald and Conor Dalton of Clonea have been added to the county senior panel, along with Tadhg de Búrca and Pauric Mahony. Mac Donncha only listed Kevin Moran, Shane Fives and Jake Dillon as players who had left the panel, but I have been told by other sources that Mark O'Brien and DJ Foran are also gone.

Conor Dalton played for the Waterford minors in 2016, and was at centre forward when they lost the Munster semi-final to Limerick by two points. Limerick went on to contest the All-Ireland final where they lost to Tipperary, whom Waterford had beaten in Munster in the game before the Limerick game. Dalton didn't play at Under 21 for Waterford in 2017 and 2018, and presumably was over-age for the Under 20 championship in 2019.

Well done to Conor Prunty on his well deserved all star. A crucial player for us these days and a natural leader too.

Who would have thought back a number of years ago that we would have all star goalkeeper and full back coming down the tracks. Massive areas of weakness for us over the years ...

Looking forward to this Pling. 👍

Will be dialling in at 8

Any idea when club deise 2022 kicks off ?

Apparently sorting TV games is the delay and not helped with the Eir Sport covering Saturday games closing down.

Have read Loughmore have been out the last 18 weeks between football and hurling. With BG at home as well you’d have to think they’ll come through most likely with a bit to spare.

Ballygunner to win I would feel, however I wouldn't see it as clear cut as the bookies do, with Ballygunner 4/11 to win. Any team that wins Tipp and includes hurlers like the McGraths is a serious side, that's for sure.

But playing every week for what 18 consecutive weeks may take a toll eventually and the extra time last weekend won't help in that regard.

I think Ballygunner will have too much scoring ability for Loughmore but i would expect a right good battle of a game.

Kilmoyley are a very decent side, I saw them play a challenge against Charleville earlier this year.

They have 3 or 4 Kerry county hurlers and are a very mobile and fit side.

Look what happened to Glenmore of Kilkenny today v Naas of Kildare and Clough Ballacolla of Laois knocking out Kilmacud.

Club hurling in the Joe McDonagh counties is getting strong.

In saying that Dunhill have had a great year and I am going to say Dunhill to win by 4 or 5 points.

Have Dunhill many from Bunmahon playing for them other than Harney?

Hard luck to Dunhill who fought bravely and were beaten by 2pts in the end

Ballygunner carry on is a disgrace.An absolute embarrassment of play acting and diving.
