I don't recall the Munster Council having any problem with provincial boundaries being crossed on that occasion either. There's a precedent there, and why it can't be used by Waterford is beyond me.

If point to the Cork match on that Saturday night and the Clare match in Ennis where the crowd was 50/50. But I think the Munster council would buckle and accede to Dungarvan if the Waterford county board was united enough. The fact is Waterford have the least powerful county board in Munster and they tend to bend and aquiece too readily. For what it's worth if Waterford let this venue issue drag on until after Christmas it will become a burden and a ready made excuse. Get it sorted out and set the gun sights on getting out of Munster in the summer and the All Ireland is there for the taking.

You'd imagine a guy being tipped for senior intercounty pedigree would be used in a more pivotal position like Centre or even full back.... Clonea have had a nice few county minors over the past couple of years but no real stand-out performers. They'll struggle to maintain senior status.

Statistically, very few teams in recent years have survived more than 2 years after coming up senior and establish themselves with the exception of Lismore who were only intermediate for a year and Roanmore. Clonea in the past, An Rinn, Ardmore, Portlaw, Cappoquin (may have survived 3?) and Dunhill have returned to intermediate fairly quickly.

They were strong in junior football (when there was no intermediate grade) in the 1950s and early 1960s. Their main players were the Hewitt brothers and Oliver Nugent. They borrowed a fair few players from the Nire and Touraneena, who didn't have a GAA club in those days. I think they went out of business in the late 1960s after the Sliabh gCua club was established. They trained in the pitch at Ferryhouse as they never had their own pitch. Had a number of fields they used as pitches south of the river suir mostly around Derrinlaur and Coleville road south of Clonmel. My grandfather was a founding member. Team had a very small pick, mainly about 5/7 families Hewitts ( about 7 of them) Walshs, Nugents, Byrnes and Clearys. Club folded in the early 70s when all the Hewitts defected to Clonmel Commercials.

Hopefully he stays, even for his professionalism and his experience he is invaluable to the younger fellas. Could still be used as an impact sub also. The man owes nothing to the county jersey that’s for sure. Glad to hear Shane Bennett is back also.
