New Waterford boss faces an uphill battle

Tralee IT 2-8 Waterford 0-9

The county crashed to a disappointing McGrath Cup defeat against Tralee IT at Kill yesterday.

Without a championship win in more than a decade and a half and no victory either in three successive National League seasons, Kiely was hoping his charges would deliver him victory in his first official managerial outing. However, after a promising and impressive start, it was not to be with the students eventually racing to a richly deserved five-point victory.
