WHAT an enthralling Waterford senior hurling championship game at Fraher Field, Dungarvan, on Saturday.

THERE was never any doubting the outcome of this AIB Kerry SFC opener in Currow yesterday once St Kieran’s recovered from a shaky period at the start of the second half and put up the scores which eased them into a controlling position.

DE LA SALLE, defeated in last year’s Waterford SHC final, struggled to overcome a disappointing Fourmilewater in this first round game at Fraher Field, Dungarvan on Saturday.

Ballygunner 2-10 De La Salle 1-12

De la Salle 2-11 Fourmilewater 1-12

Abbeyside 2-10 De La Salle 0-11

THERE are three first round games down for decision tonight in the Munster minor hurling championship and for the first time in the competition the losers will have a second chance.
