Ballygunner in a golden era, says Gerry Cullinan

Gerry Cullinan remembers pitching up in Ballygunner from his native west Waterford in the 1970s when “the 12 houses” were still standing.

It was from this cluster of houses that the Ballygunner team that won three Waterford SHC titles on the trot between 1966 and 1968 apparently drew the majority of its players.

Whether that, or the fact that the club was only formed 12 years earlier, is the more impressive stat is an interesting debate.
