Ballyduff and Fourmilewater battle for survival in top flight

AFTER last Sunday's thriller, the Waterford SHC relegation play-off replay between Ballyduff Upper and Fourmilewater at Dungarvan tomorrow (1pm) is awaited with great anticipation.

The winners are assured of their place in the top flight next season, while for the losers there's only the uninviting prospect of participation in the intermediate grade.

Last Sunday's game was a mighty battle. Fourmilewater looked the more likely winners for most of the hour, but Ballyduff's late rally, even though reduced to 14 players, earned them a richly deserved second bite at the cherry.
