Winning all that matters to Waterford says Dan Shanahan

Dan Shanahan makes no bones about it: “Semi-finals are about winning; if it’s eight points to seven with 10 sweepers, we’ll take it.”

Shanahan’s Waterford face Cork on Sunday, marking the Deise’s third All-Ireland semi-final in a row.

“We played two unbelievable semi-finals against Kilkenny last year and what was the result?” says Shanahan. “We were beaten. It’s about winning. If you win one... we haven’t won one since 2008, then you’re back to the ’50s.
