Two‑time All‑Ireland–winning captain and former Dublin and Clare manager, Anthony Daly, is a much-respected pundit and columnist as well as ringmaster in chief on the hugely-popular Dalo’s Hurling Show.
I was lucky enough to play in the Munster club championship on five occasions, and lucky enough to win a provincial club title in one of those years, in 1997. I know how hard it is to win games in Munster, never mind win a title, which was Clarecastle’s first. So it’s mind-blowing to think that Ballygunner are now odds-on favourites to win a fourth successive title. Incredible.
It’s even more impressive again when this crusade is happening at a time when Waterford hurling isn’t exactly ripping up trees. There’s no doubting how good this team is but these Ballygunner players also realise that they need that second All-Ireland.
