Waterford rue missed chances as Gallagher seals Antrim win

AN inability to translate first-half territorial dominance into scores contributed significantly to Waterford’s defeat in this NFL 2B game at windswept Fraher Field, Dungarvan yesterday.

The home county dominated for lengthy spells in the opening half but their forwards missed numerous chances from play and frees and paid dearly.

The most glaring of those misses came in the 10th minute when Andy Hubbard found himself clear with only goalkeeper Sean McGreevey to beat. Admittedly, the ‘keeper produced a fine stop, but from less than 10 metres Hubbard should have done better.
