Ballyduff held, but in last eight

Neighbours Ballyduff Upper and Tallow couldn’t be separated last night in the fourth round of the Waterford SHC in a contest that picked up real pace in the final quarter.

The sides were level 11 times before it finished 19 points apiece at Lismore.

Ballyduff nudged the first half exchanges by 0-9 to 0-8, with Waterford minor Mikey Kearney contributing five placed balls. It was a tactical battle all through as former inter-county defenders Tom Feeney and James Murray acted as effective sweepers at either end.
