Queally grateful for six week break in build up to semi

PETER Queally is thankful for the fact that Waterford had a decent break after their Munster hurling final win.

And, the fact it extended to six weeks cannot be proffered as an excuse if the team doesn’t advance against Clare in the All-Ireland championship. At least that’s how he feels going into tomorrow’s semi-final against Clare in Croke Park.

A Youghal based garda, he dismisses the notion that the players found it difficult to focus on the semi-final, especially when they didn’t know their opponents until a fortnight ago. Quite simply, once they resumed training on the Friday evening after the win over Tipperary, everything was geared towards the All-Ireland semi-final.
