Ballinacourty aim to end Waterford’s losing streak

No Waterford team has ever won a Munster Club football championship.

It is a grim statistic at the back of Ballinacourty minds as they embark on their provincial journey against 2008 champions Drom Broadford tomorrow but captain Mark Fives has some interesting observations about the standards in the south east.

“I think there’s five or six excellent teams in Waterford. Stradbally are probably as good as any club team in Munster. That hasn’t really been borne out in Munster championship wins in the last couple of years but there’s no doubt that Waterford football is particularly strong at club level. There’s no complex in Waterford club football when we go into Munster championship.”
