Some things never change as pupils turn Waterford blue and white

The build-up to the All-Ireland hurling final has been a welcome diversion for kids in Waterford after a long, strange year.

The white and blue begins before you even cross Youghal Bridge. 

Head for Waterford east along the N25, and the bunting and flags and colours are coming against you, establishing a small bridgehead in the most eastern part of East Cork.
