Déise juniors ready for another Semple raid

SEMPLE STADIUM has been a happy hunting ground for the Waterford hurlers in recent months. Now the county footballers are hoping to write another chapter of summer success in Thurles.

Tomorrow, the Déise contest the All-Ireland JFC Final against Leitrim with Waterford bidding for their second title in five years.

Their last crown, the county’s first All-Ireland football title, was won in 1999 when John Kiely’s side defeated Meath by a point at O’Moore Park, Portlaoise.
