Two teams on a high

IT’S been an encouraging few weeks for Waterford hurling. De La Salle college from the city annexed its second Harty Cup title in a row last weekend while the week before saw Waterford Institute of Technology serve up a game for the ages, beating Limerick Institute of Technology in the Fitzgibbon Cup final.

Good times, says Waterford attacker Eoin Kelly.

“There’s a feelgood factor in Waterford at the moment alright. The lads winning the Harty Cup gives everyone a lift — it certainly inspired us to win another trophy this year, definitely, while Waterford colleges did well in the B and C-grade Munster competitions this year as well.
