WATERFORD last night received a major boost for Sunday’s Munster SHC final against Tipperary at Semple Stadium when co-captain Stephen Molumphy was named to lead the attack in a sector notable again for the exclusion of 2007 Hurler of The Year Dan Shanahan.

A MASTER class in scoring by full-forward Rory Jacob set Wexford up for a deserved eight-point victory in a competitive and sometimes fractious NHL Division 1A tie at Wexford Park yesterday.

BRIAN MURPHY and Tom Kenny are to return to the Cork team for Sunday’s Allianz NHL clash with Waterford at Pairc Uí Rinn.

Waterford 1-13 Wexford 0-14

IT began with a few notes on the back of a paper napkin, but yesterday in a Brussels suburb, leading figures from the world of sport gathered for the official dedication of the Sean Kelly Cycling Academy.
