WEXFORD champions Oulart The Ballagh qualified for the Leinster Club SHC final following a hard-earned victory over Westmeath champions Raharney in a high-scoring match played in dense fog at Cusack Park yesterday.

IN a game that provided plenty of food for thought for manager Davy Fitzgerald, Waterford turned in a substandard performance in going under to Wexford in a senior hurling challenge to mark the official opening of new dressing rooms for the Brickey Rangers club outside Dungarvan last night.
