Evidence points to Déise guilty verdict

Case for the prosecution.

In the aftermath of a Munster championship game, marshalling hard facts can be a challenge, but we pieced together the case against Waterford from the available evidence.

Exhibit A: the wides Waterford hit on the resumption of the game weren’t fatal, but they were enough to put their chances on life support. A four-point lead could have been stretched even further, and they created good chances on the resumption, but hit four wides before Clare scored — two of which were poor.
