Derek McGrath revels as Waterford deliver on No. 5 pledge

Promises. Derek McGrath and Waterford have made plenty of them this summer. Thus far, they’ve held true to their word.

The Waterford players promised one another ahead of this second instalment with Cork that they would not be as flat as they had been on June 18.

Derek McGrath promised Tadhg de Búrca outside the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel following the latter’s failed appeal before the DRA that he’d have an All-Ireland final to look forward to upon serving his one-match suspension.
