Rebels beware as Déise aiming high

There was a time when Waterford’s presence in the Munster MFC was almost incidental, tussling to avoid the tag of being the worst in the province.

Tonight, however, the Déise take on Cork in a semi-final at Fraher Field (throw-in 7.30pm), having beaten Clare after losing to Tipperary first time out. Put it to manager OranCurran that getting to the last four is a successful year, though, and he is emphatic in terms of the county’s aspirations.

“At the start of the year, the aim was to beat Tipp,” he said.
