A lot done, more to do for busy Reid

WHAT’S left for TJ Reid to achieve?

Just turned 21, earlier this month, the list of achievements for the Ballyhale youngster would already do justice to the CV of a man coming to the end of a long and illustrious career. Féile na nGael U14 with Ballyhale Shamrocks, Leinster and All-Ireland colleges titles with St Kieran’s, Leinster and All-Ireland U21 medals on the double, another brace at senior, culminating in a 15-minute display of virtuosity in this year’s final when, after coming on as a sub for the injured Martin Comerford in the 43rd minute, he blasted over four points in the next quarter of an hour.

Yes, Waterford were already a beaten and demoralised force at that stage, trailed by 2-18 to 0-6 when he hit the field, but it was, nevertheless, a whirlwind entrance to the big stage.
