Waterford can win this battle but Tipperary well placed to win war

The natural next step for this Waterford group now is to win a Munster title and they are ready to take that step this weekend, writes Anthony Daly.

Thinking back during the week, I did a count of the number of times I’ve been involved on provincial inter-county final day between playing, managing and coaching. I came to 13 including this one.

I’ve lost a lot more of those finals than I’ve won and some of the early ones with the Banner and the Dubs were hard to swallow, but still the day is always unique, even if you’re not involved directly.
