The Big Interview with Seán Power: The man behind Waterford's underage All-Irelands

Having guided Waterford to underage success, Seán Power didn’t even get the courtesy of an interview to replace Derek McGrath in the senior role. However, he is not bitter and is encouraged by what he sees from the Déise under Liam Cahill

They haven’t come out of nowhere.

They may have disappeared for a while there but there was a time this is how we suspected the future might look like. An attacking Waterford team defending like their lives depended on it. Having too much steel and firepower for Cork in a Munster semi-final. Bouncing back from a Munster final loss to Limerick to get back to Croke Park. Riddling Clare with goals while racking up a huge points tally as well. Stephen Bennett shining. Austin and Conor Gleeson able to slot in anywhere.
