A lot done, more to do for busy Reid
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.
