Whoever wins faces a tough Munster QF against Midleton (I think UCC can't play in the Prov if they win the cork title ?) and if they come through its the Clare champs in the semis. Talk of Ballygunner aiming a lot of higher than the Waterford championship this year. Can't see Abbeyside going far in Munster

For a town that is now the second biggest in the county (2016 population 10,381) their contribution to GAA in the county has been minimal. They had a good football team over 40 years ago, but never made any impact on the hurling front. If the county board had any forward-thinking vision or organisational ability, they would have put a big effort into building up the GAA in the town - yet another of their many failings. I don't agree with the poster who said that De La Salle left their game against Abbeyside behind. They had just two more wides than Abbeyside, who passed up a hatful of goal opportunities, some of which should have been tap-over points.

Guys like these are very important nowadays Paul Kinerk has won 2 Senior All Ireland titles being part of backroom teams. Was it the Limerick physio who has been part of a load of AI winning teams too ??

They we're inter a few years ago think they might have put themselves back down to junior grade. They now have a full time coach in the town employed by the gaa,

As a county we have limited enough playing pool compared to others so to just ignore the potential a town of 10k people can bring would be a crime. That’s partly how Dublin have become so strong, they’ve honed in on areas with a large young population that wouldn’t traditionally be gas stronghold and promoted the game to the kids there. Tramore has traditionally been a soccer town first and that’s no criticism of anyone. But there is huge potential to increase playing numbers within the area and ultimately the county

At best it will delay construction by another 6 months and at worst it could mean the whole project is in jeopardy......,time will tell as usual. Maybe Croke Park and most recently pairc ui chaoimh re-developments will be taken into account where much larger re-developments were allowed to take place within urban residential areas
