Wasteful Waterford in control

Waterford Colleges 2-15 Coláiste An Spioraid Naoimh 2-7

They were always in control against a spirited Coláiste An Spioraid Naoimh, though their second-half performance will hardly suffice come quarter-final time.

Leading 1-8 to 0-2 at the break, and in total charge, Waterford Colleges experimented a little with their formation. And with Spioraid Naoimh upping the tempo when playing with the breeze, the combined side got a little more than they bargained for, though they did finish in style - substitutes J. J. Coffey firing in 1-1 and Dave Hennessey a point in the final five minutes to put a truer reflection on the scoreboard.
