Waterford hurling manager Liam Cahill said the disbanding of the maor foirne role has been “a disaster”.

When asked how difficult it was, as manager, to affect today's second-round qualifier contest when Galway took over in the final quarter, Cahill said it was “really difficult” to communicate messages and changes to players as no member of management is allowed inside the whitewash.
