Relentless Ballygunner tear Mount Sion apart

Ballygunner 0-29 Mount Sion 0-9 (Waterford SHC quarter-final): A 20-point blowout against the old enemy confirmed Ballygunner’s standing as the team to beat in this year’s Waterford senior hurling championship in Fraher Field on Saturday night.

Pauric Mahony and Brian O’Sullivan instigated the rout. Austin Gleeson was detailed to track Mahony around the half back-line with Michael Gaffney in a free role but the Gunners employed a methodical approach to nullify that tactic.
