Waterford finally get booty in the bag

Waterford 3-12 UCC 1-9: McGrath Cup final: Silverware in the southeast: Waterford collected a first McGrath Cup in over 30 years with an emphatic win over UCC in Fraher Field, Dungarvan on Saturday.

Just under a thousand hardy souls braved the chill to see the men in white and blue claim a nine-point win, much to the delight of manager Tom McGlinchey.

UCC made 10 changes before the game: with an eye on their Sigerson Cup opener on Tuesday against Cork IT they didn’t risk the likes of Paul Geaney or Conor Cox, and Waterford clearly sniffed the opportunity.
