2018 champions The Nire staged a miraculous comeback from ten points behind to overturn An Rinn in last night’s Waterford SFC quarter-final at Fraher Field (1-15 to 2-11).

A first championship win as Waterford boss eluded him on a scorching Saturday but Tom McGlinchey couldn’t question the character of his players. They gave another honourable display in defeat, particularly in the first half.
