Revenge not driving Ballygunner

It could have been ten years ago. Or 20. Mount Sion and Ballygunner in a winner-takes-all championship clash in Waterford senior hurling, just as the year turns to autumn.

Ballygunner, the form team in the southeast for the last couple of years, were too strong in last weekend’s county semi-final and eased to a ten-point win. Not that Philip Mahony was taking the result for granted.

“You look at it, Mount Sion were full of momentum coming into the game last weekend,” says the Ballygunner and Waterford half-back.
