THIS Waterford SHC final was as one-sided as the score suggests as Ballygunner captured their 12th senior title with ease at sun-drenched Walsh Park yesterday.

A WIN for Waterford, but a redemption of sorts for the Model County men in Wexford Park.

DE LA Salle stormed to a second Waterford senior hurling title yesterday, reversing their group stages defeat at the hands of Ballygunner as they ran out easy winners in Walsh Park.

LISMORE made a stunning comeback to force a draw with titleholders Ballygunner in a highly charged Waterford SHC semi-final at Dungarvan’s Fraher Field yesterday.

CHAMPIONS Ballygunner took a giant stride towards the retention of their Waterford SHC title with a six-point victory over arch-rivals Mount Sion in a hard-fought quarter-final at Walsh Park yesterday.

CRATLOE, competing in the Munster Club SHC for the first time, bowed out at the semi-final stage yesterday, losing a tight, tense, game to Ballygunner at Walsh Park.

London-based Corkonian Mike O'Brien made a winning return to his native county with victory on the Jim Walsh Cork Forest Rally, a qualifying round of the Petro Systems Irish Forest Championship.

Dominating from the very start, reigning Dunlop National Rally champions, Patrick Elliott/Paul Goodman (Subaru WRC) won the Sepam Tipperary Stonethrowers Rally.

The Willie Loughman Memorial Forest Rally, the second round of the Petro Systems National Forest Championship was won by Trevor Harding/Andrew Purcell (Subaru WRC).

THE good times roll on for De La Salle. The Waterford and Munster senior champions collected the county U21 HC title at Fraher Field, Dungarvan, yesterday.

FIVE minutes into the second-half of the second Kilkenny SHC semi-final in yesterday’s double-header at Nowlan Park, it looked like a shock (pardon the pun) was on the cards as Carrickshock took a surprise if well-merited one-point lead.

THE ABSENCE of inter-county players on both sides may have taken from the glamour of this “old firm’’ Waterford SHL final at Walsh Park on Saturday, but Mount Sion were still very deserving winners.

WITHOUT ever having to move into top gear, Lismore were always in control of this Waterford senior hurling championship group game at Fraher Field in Dungarvan yesterday and dismissed the challenge of Mount Sion far more decisively than a five-point winning margin might suggest.

IN ordinary circumstances the result of this Waterford SHC game at Walsh Park yesterday would have been all the talk.
