Clubber have the rights for the Waterford, Tipp & Kerry Championships. Annual Pass is €99 for all games some value. What way does that Clubber Streaming work does anyone know? Can multiple people work off the one account at the same time and watch same games?

Mount Sion 0-14 Fourmilewater 2-18. Aussie & Jamie Gleeson red carded

-----

Was at it myself and totally agree but when Mount Sion needed leadership, no one stood up, there was bitching and mouthing towards each other in the 1st half when the game was still there for the taking but they were making mistakes. Aussie is such a talent and does amazing things but there was no need for him to be sent off tonight. He had already broke his Hurley off his knee and been booked before getting needlessly sent off on a straight red. He now, along with Jamie, misses the Tallow match. I heard after he was sent off in a recent challenge match. I want to emphasise that it’s not a personal attack, but he should know better at this stage of his career.

Finally, I want to compliment Mollerans on their venue tonight. A field across the road for parking, a great surface, a nice stand that is suffice for the crowd and loads of volunteers. I hope they get many more games going forward for east-west/east-east contests. I will definitely travel down for Clonea and Roanmore next Friday.

Aussie needs to cop the fcuk on is all that needs to happen.

At this stage with his absolute joke of a disciplinary record he is equally as likely to win you a game with a great performance as he is likely to lose you a game getting himself sent off for something stupid.

Despite all his interviews over the years that he has matured he is still doing the same stupid sh1t as he was when he was 21

MS have been in decline the last decade, a few years of reaching a county final or the latter stages of the championship might have given the appearance they were turning a corner but I’d say that was more down to all other teams outside of Ballygunner being fairly poor and all capable of beating each other on any given day. I know it sounds a bit harsh but really just a reflection of where Waterford club hurling is at.

It’s depressing to see as traditionally Waterford teams have always been backboned by Sion players but apart from Aussie the last 5-10 years they haven’t produced any standout players. Crazy to think Sion would have no representation on the senior team if it weren’t for Aussie. What are their results like at underage the last few years?

Speaking of him, again disappointing to see him get the line. Becoming all too common unfortunately. Don’t think it’s even a controversial statement to make that his best years may be behind him and although he’ll be back next year I don’t know if he’d even be an automatic starter.

His biggest issues were always consistency and temperament. We’d accept he’d go a game or two being quiet if it meant he’d then put in a great performance but those big games might now be every 4-5 on average. And as mentioned above red cards are becoming a regular occurrence.

He owes the county nothing, he’s given us some great days and moments and next year will mark 10 years involved but it feels like we should really be seeing him in his prime right now.

Both Mt Sion and Austin just looked off the pace. When he was involved he did some good things, at least two puck outs caught, two points from play and a brilliant cut over the bar too. But from fairly early you could see he wasn't at ease with himself and his work rate dropped. I didn't see the incident with his red card as the play had moved on. I don't think there is any question he is a starter for club and county once fit and available but I also think he needs to put himself in a position where he can deliver. I do think last night the obvious place to put him was in the centre back position as Luke O Brien was playing there as a free man and Austin would have been far more suited. Though the whole set up of Mt Sion was very strange last night.

Fair play to Fourmilewater though, I thought Jamie Barron was excellent. The lung bursting 70 yard runs are far less common but he got on a world of ball. Sean Walsh looked like he deserves game time in the league for Waterford next year as well.

And I must echo the sentiment around St Mollerans. Well organised and a good surface.

Ballygunner fight back, Austin Gleeson sent off as 12-man Sion slump

Ballygunner had to dig deep to extend their unbeaten run to 51 championship games

ah here, these excuses are pathetic. what’s he at breaking a Hurley off his leg anyway? He’s 28 now not 18. His disciplinary record is embarrassing at this stage. How many times is that he’s been sent off in his career? I hope no one has been counting for his sake

Any reason why they're all front loaded next weekend, including a Thursday night game and nothing on a Sunday?

Anywhere online that do match reports? Very little from what I've seen and haven't come across anything covering the Roanmore v Lismore fixture.

Any standout performances the weekend? Was a certain D .Fitz in attendance??

Yes I'm going. Fingers crossed there will be a good Waterford crowd and hopefully we'll see history being made!

Up the Deise!

Return Train is booked out!

The Davy effect ?

Id say their trying to flog as much as they can in the week leading the AI camogie final to make room for the 2024 gear.
