Probably fair to say that our football championship is better than the hurling in that there are more potential winners than the monopoly that Ballygunner have in the hurling. Reckon Kilrossanty will bring a huge crowd and neutrals will travel next Sunday night to Fraher Field and it should be a great occasion under lights.

Typical overconfidence about Cork's prospects in 2019, but their main points of discussion were how Limerick had no chance of retaining their trophy (why, because they're Limerick) and then they were both hoping to see an end to sweeper systems, and a return to '15 on 15' in 2019. Obviously the were looking at me, as a Waterford man, for my response! I must say I'm a bit fed up of listening to this type of rubbish from people in other counties. They didn't seem to like being reminded that we scored 4-19 on them in Croke Park last year, or that Cork played a sweeper themselves in the years 2014-2016. That said, I hope Waterford will end up in a position where they don't really need to rely on the sweeper approach as they have, that they can mix it up as it suits them. I still think we're in need of a ball winning full forward before we can do that though.

Walsh Park is Board’s 2019 Choice By Dermot Keyes. Published on Wednesday, October 24th, 2018 at 12:28 pm The Munster Express understands that Walsh Park will be the stadium of choice proposed by the County Board of Waterford GAA for use in next summer’s Munster Hurling Championship. But whether the Deisemen will line out against Clare (week ending May 12th) and All-Ireland champions Limerick (week ending June 2nd) at the Keane’s Road venue is entirely dependant on the time it will take An Bord Pleanála to deal with the two submissions lodged in relation to elements of the proposed redevelopment. This newspaper also understands that a capacity of between 10,000 and 10,500 will be placed on the ground for both games next summer, with work potentially beginning in mid-June or early July, subject to both the planning and tendering processes.

They could do combine some of the city clubs and play in the senior football championship. Call them Hilview GAA (made up for DLS/Roanmore/Mount Sion footballers) Divisional teams were tried out in senior hurling championship about 20 years ago. My recollection is they were a disaster, barely able to fulfill fixtures and some big beatings, the interest just wasnt there. Similarly WIT entered the hurling championship and that didnt work out either.
