Ardmore stun Stradbally to book final spot

GOALS early in either half were the decisive moments in this Waterford SFC semi-final at Fraher Field, Dungarvan, yesterday with Ardmore deservedly advancing to their first decider since 1981.

For Stradbally however the dream of reaching the decider for an unprecedented seventh successive year is over though they will be the first to concede victory went to the better side.

Driving rain and a strong breeze blowing into the town goal made conditions difficult for both teams and it is to their credit that they served up a keen and competitive game.
