Finishing school: How Waterford have become a goal scoring machine

A pattern has emerged under Liam Cahill and Bevans since their time with Tipperary underage teams

Waterford's Ian Beecher scores his side's fifth goal during the Allianz Hurling League Division 1 semi-final against Wexford at UPMC Nowlan Park 

When Waterford played Laois in the league in mid-February, Waterford’s total of 7-31 reached into the rarified thin air of above the 50-point mark. If Waterford had wanted to kept climbing, an even higher summit was well within their reach.

“It was incredible stuff,” says Kevin Moran, who retired at the end of last season. “It was a complete demolishment. If Waterford really wanted to score ten goals in the first half alone, they could have got them.”
