Waterford hungry to taste success

THE Gaelic Grounds should host an interesting spectacle this weekend, with Galway and Waterford a most unusual pairing for a national hurling final.

Despite Galway’s summer short-comings in recent years, the hunger for success is much more pronounced in Waterford, where they have been without a national title since their last league success in 1963.

This is a match Justin McCarthy and his team dearly want to win, if only to yield something tangible from the amount of hard work invested over the past few seasons.
