Tom Devine fully committed to the Waterford cause for 2018

Tom Devine was hardly expecting his first Páirc Uí Chaoimh performance to be like this.

It was a sold-out crowd, sure, but it was a different experience speaking to the 400 people in the conference centre at a Cork Science Festival event than his teammates had on the opening weekend last July.

Devine was travelling in the US for that quarter-final against Wexford, as he was all summer while Waterford marched to an All-Ireland final.
