Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

yep, should only lose by 10

TDB, Daly, Prunty & Bennett all played. Seems we are full strength other than the long term injuries to C.Daly and others. +3 point handicap is bet of he year at 11/10. With pitch conditions and the usual Championship kick, there wont be much in this game.

And lads wanted Waterford to build a 20-40k capacity stadium!

You'd feel if we do lose to Cork the Saturday evening game against Tipp won't attract many either

Not too mention the away trips from hell

Best of luck to the minor hurlers tomorrow at home to Tipp

posted above I see

Might be worth a flutter as the odds will be decent. And I hear TDB is back. Can’t write off Waterford especially with the players they have

if only for the Davy factor I’d agree with you. With him as manger we are starting ar least -5pts down. Hope I’m wrong but can’t see it any other way….😡

oh dear god ,we wouldn't be favourites against laois

Congrats to Boyce and Co on Boston Scientific team winners of Inter Firm ALL Ireland last night

Left that game behind us tonight. Too many poor wides and once again some poor decision making which seems to be a common theme across all Waterford teams.

Great second half by the lads in fairness, really dug in to get back into game, 16 wides, 12 points down at half time and we should have got something out of it.

their performance's in the first game and a half were poor but their second half display today was encouraging. Short puck outs in the first half and wides through out the game killed them. It’s amazing the effect a bit of confidence can have on young lads, once they got it in the second half they were a completely different team. Hopefully they will bring the second half performance into their last two games. I think top two in group go to Munster final and 3 and 4 into all Ireland preliminary with Leinster teams. It would be great to get into preliminary, the more games the better for young players like this

Tickets returned by Waterford clubs will be going on general sale.

1at half was disappointing against the wind, constantly turned over on short puckouts, poor shot selection and wides, 3 goals that could have been prevented and the goal before half-time was particularly a killer.

However the 2nd half was encouraging. Subs introduced made an impact, the players upped their intensity and work rate and brought more physicality and the quality of both goals was top class and showed guts and determination. Shot selection was still poor at times and one player had 6 wides (he did contribute 1-1 in the 2nd half though) and he wasn’t alone in taking the wrong option in front of goal. Can’t fault the group for effort throughout, poor execution in the 1st half was a killer.

One positive is that 12 of the 15 that finished are underage next year.

This is nothing new, we were outnumbered at home Vs Clare in the first round under fanning having reached a league final. Walsh park wasn't even full on the day. Support for the county team has been declining for the last 10-12 years.

Shouldn't be like this. Trophies are not relative to season ticket holders, for instance. Take Mayo, have a huge following and season ticket crowd.

How long has the current chairman and board been in place? Is it time for new blood? Between sponsorships and promotion, the last few years have been a struggle.
