Liam Cahill: Silverware perfect confidence boost for Waterford after two final losses

The Waterford boss doesn't share the theory that the league has lost value

Waterford manager Liam Cahill does not agree with the “myth” that the League has been devalued because of its proximity to a game-heavy provincial series, remarking that his team’s League final win over Cork was a “good confidence boost” ahead of championship.

Waterford have lost two finals - Munster and All-Ireland - since Cahill came on board as manager and so coming out on top in Thurles was important.
