Courty score sweet revenge

BALLINACOURTY dramatically dethroned title holders Stradbally in a tension-filled Waterford SFC final at Fraher Field, Dungarvan, yesterday.

Twelve months ago, Courty ended up on the wrong side of a one-point defeat to their arch rivals, yet they got some measure of revenge and stopped Stradbally’s charge for a three-in-a-row to claim a first title win for their club since 2007.

“Our agonising defeat in last year’s final was still hurting for all of us,” said Courty’s ace marksman Gary Hurney.
