The return to the market of this chocolate box thatched property at 12 St James Wood in Stradbally with a guide of €300,000, signals the resurrection of a development once described as Ireland’s prettiest ghost estate.

Waterford manager Derek Lyons felt that his side’s victory owed as much to hard work and doing the basics as it did to the many moments of skill and quality.

Trish Dromey says this period property in north-east Cork was carefully modernised and now scores a C1 BER.

Waterford hurling stalwarts Fergal Hartley and John Galvin believe the county is set for a "sustained fallow period" inside the whitewash, calling for patience from the Déise public to allow manager Derek McGrath rebuild the senior team.
