Lismore aiming to atone and dethrone champions Ballygunner

FEW are as well acquainted with the disappointment of losing Waterford SHC games to Ballygunner as former Lismore great Michael ‘Ducky’ Ormonde.

However, such history wouldn’t feature in the manager’s team speech when the sides face off in tomorrow’s county semi-final (Fraher Field, 3.30pm) – a repeat of last year’s thrilling draw and replayed decider between the pair which the Gunners’ won.

Manager in 2009 and again in 2001 when Lismore lost in the final to Ballygunner, Ormonde was also a selector when Lismore lost the 1986 decider to Mount Sion.
