Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

Great win. The game will stand to them ahead of semi final v KK

Made hard work of it I. The end but got the win. Killkenny in 2 weeks imagine it will be thurles

Brilliant win, never do things easy though

No fear going into the semi finals, you'd miss the old system where we'd get a game in Croke Park

Not a vintage performance but did enough. Impressed with Keane and Lynch in full back line again. Thought the half back line had their best game of the year and switching Kennedy back worked well. He seems much more comfortable facing the ball and came out with plenty of it. Quann linked play well around the middle. Jack Power as ever awesome in the air. Still a worry that we don’t have any other outlet for our puckouts though. Spain inside is just lethal, from play and frees. Jamie Shanahan a very effective player. Comerford had a great save at a vital stage too.

Kilkenny will be a big step up, they have been consistent challengers at this age group throughout the years but there’s nothing to fear.

anyone see kk this year yet. I caught a bit of the game v Galway who looked very poor so hard to judge. Thought they (waterford) continued to make unforced errors and gifted limerick a lot of scores such as the goal 😡 have a habit of overplaying and taking poor / most difficult option and ending up being overturned.

There was a couple of lengthy enough stoppages in the second half tbf

Waterford rode their luck but got there in the end. Often times, we would have been caught at the death but fair play to all concerned. Definitely some decent prospects are emerging from that group.

Defo in with a shout…..need to improve their shot selection and less short passing in the half back/middle area and get plenty of the right balls into forwards particularly spain. Can’t affords too many incidents like what led to the Lk Goal yesterday….🥲. On the other side of the draw it’s obviously Clare / Galway v Cork…..? Would Fancy that to be Clare cork semi.

Won't be Sunday anyway with kilkenny playing the leinster final in croke park. Maybe Saturday.

Per the GAA master fixtures list, the semi finals are the w/e 14th June with the final two weeks later.

Minor SF v Kilkenny on Sat 14th June at 19:35 in Wexford Park

sensible thing was a double header in thurles, would have got a nice crowd from the 4 counties and would have been a bit of an atmosphere around but feck that let’s bring Waterford and Kilkenny all the way down to Wexford for a half 7 throw in on Saturday evening. You would wonder at times

QFs are the weekend after, the Preliminary QFs are that weekend but Laois and Kildare will have home advantage

I don't know Wexford is a handy spin and a good road. Probably not as handy from the west of the county, but definitely a shorter spin than Thrurles, from some parts or much the same

Would it have been better to toss for home/away with Kilkenny
