Crystal makes the perfect stepping stone, says Sheedy

THE Waterford Crystal senior hurling tournament continues this weekend with the four quarter-finals down for decision.

Today, Clare play LIT in Sixmilebridge (1pm), while the Gaelic Grounds sees an all-college clash under lights with the meeting of UL and WIT (7.30pm), who were worthy winners last weekend over All-Ireland champions Tipperary.

Tomorrow, Waterford play CIT in Walsh Park, while Páirc Uí Rinn will host a derby game with Cork facing UCC (both 2pm).
