‘Big Two’ face off in hurling classic

ONE could be forgiven for thinking there’s a jaded appearance about Sunday’s Mount Sion/Ballygunner showdown in the Waterford SHC decider at Walsh Park, being as they’ve met in six of the last 11 finals.

Not a bit of it. Every renewal between the “Big Two” sets pulses racing on Suirside, and the fans will turn out in the thousands for this latest instalment in a gripping hurling story.

Provided the luck of the draw kept them apart, the teams were raging favourites to meet on county final day.
