Ballygunner had eight weeks off after their Waterford county final win.

Eight weeks: County championships have been played off in a shorter period. Understandably, manager Darragh O’Sullivan was a little concerned ahead of the Gunners’ outing in the Munster club championship with Clare champions Ballyea.
