Ballygunner ready for final obstacle

“I imagine people weren’t expecting us to win in Waterford this year,” says Ballygunner selector Gary O’Keeffe.

Admirably honest, he continues the thought: “And certainly they weren’t expecting us to be in a Munster final. But here we are.”

The sliotar will be thrown in between Limerick’s Na Piarsaigh and Ballygunner at 2pm tomorrow in Semple Stadium. Despite being outsiders with the bookmakers, the Waterford contingent will enter on the front foot. You can hear the anticipation, the keenness, in this man’s voice.
