Ballygunner way to slow getting the ball up and cocky during the week. That's a great chance gone now and they may never recover

Congrats to Borrislleigh

Shame that club hurling has to be played in such slob.

Guess Ballygunner didn't just have to turn up after all

Jjjjjjjjbarry

Poor on the day and Borris worked harder.

Conditions were shocking wouldn't be hard on them, Borrisoleigh won the battle of attrition. Brendan Maher is amazing, deserves days like these.

Ref was very poor I thought.

What was wrong with the refereeing?

blue note

I wouldn't agree with the frees they got for their last 2 points to be honest. Very harsh I thought on the 2nd and the first I thought was going to go the other way.

Very harsh calls against ballygunner at the end

blueflame

Ref was poor - Ballygunner had to work much harder for their frees all day - last throw ball was an absolute joke of an effort and the step count for the second last free was about 10 - pity day was so bad but no shame in losing that game and nothing to do with cockiness.

Who came on for Pauric Mahony after half time?

Sorry now but who was cocky? They may never recover will you cop on boy. Sometimes teams are bet by teams that work harder and get rub of the green on the day. Borriseleigh tackled well and stopped them getting the ball to the inside forwards in the second half.never recover is some bollix too, that's the 3 or 4th time losing a game in nearly six years. Chance missed out no doubt but even for someone as negative as yourself to say a team like this might never recover is even crazier than your usual comments. Hopefully someone will challenge them in Waterford next year because it must be weary for any club to be going constantly every year. Fair play to borris loved there fight and battling and got the scores in the end.

And how do you know that Ballygunner were cocky.
Did you meet some of their players during the week.
Or are you just making it up.
I doubt they were cocky at all. They are a fairly well grounded bunch.

Ballygunner are massive under achievers for a club there size

I'm also intrigued as to how Ballygunner were cocky...will you explain yourself?

Motivator

Dissappinting from Ballygunner today. Conditions were awful but both teams had to deal with them. I don’t know what your man is talking about Ballygunner being cocky, a more humble and grounded group of lads you could not meet and they’ve always been that way down through the years. Poor enough comment from a chap that we’ve all come to learn speaks nothing but trash week in week out here.

Deiselurker

Tough conditions for a game which probably didn't suit Ballygunner as it turned into a battle in the rain. Fair play to Borrisoleigh as they played well in 2nd half. Brendan Maher really came into it in 2nd half with one inspirational point from play and a good few frees. Ref wasn't great as seemed to ignore blatant fouls and then blow for technical fouls.
Ballysaggart beaten as well today.

Barry coughlan back in the Waterford panel

TheScoringGoal

I thought Paddy Leavy was very good for them today. Still needs to fill out physically as he's only 18 or so but showed great heart to win a lot of dirty ball.

Again, More trash talk. Like Bgunner had a divine right to win that game yesterday.

No?

Heard a number of people saying Ballygunner would win this game pulling up and there was lots of talk of a Ballygunner vs Ballyhale final

Disappointing way to end the year but that's club hurling. Still have St Mary's in the junior final on the 8th December

Hopefully the league fixtures will be out next week and really looking forward to it. Hopefully a few new faces on the team and in the panel

Seen as you stated Ballygunner were cocky,
which of the Ballygunner players said that?

didnt mean the players were cocky, meant some fans were getting ahead of themselves a bit

like most of the time wasant thinking when i was typing out the response just after the game. Disapointed as this was a golden chance for history for Ballygunner and Waterford hurling. Not too be sadly

Cornerstoner

For me, Ballygunners game plan has been found out again on the big day. Their inside line (Dessie in particular) work space incredibly well. However, the lack of any ball winners in the half forward line is killing them. Once pressure is applied to there defenders they are not able to by pass their half forward line with pin point deliveries.

On a side note, phenomenal display from Brendan Maher. What a player he is considering the injury he sustained

JesusRef

Ballygunnar playing that style of Hurling in the p!ssing rain in the mud was too ambitious.

It was a day for nothing fancy and Dogs of war and Borris played that big man game well.

Borris is a small village of 1000 people, it just serves as a lesson to clubs in Waterford that if the right things are done, no matter how small the resources, you can take on the might of Ballygunnar.
