Three Bennett brothers the toast of Walsh Park

WATERFORD hurling history was created at Walsh Park on Sunday when the Lismore/Ballysaggart combination playing under the name of St Carthage’s scored a thrilling 2-17 to 2-14 victory over De La Salle to win the Waterford MAHC title.

The winning team included three brothers, Kieran (17), Stephen (16) and Shane (14) Bennett from Ballysaggart and they became the first three brothers to feature on a county minor winning team.

Their father Pat is a former county senior hurler and member of Davy Fitzgerald’s Waterford senior hurling management team for the past two seasons. His sons are highly regarded, with Stephen scoring 3-3 in the Munster MHC defeat of Limerick.
