A no-show. Stagefright. Rabbits in headlights. Call them or their performance what you will but Roanmore were a pale version of themselves in last year’s Waterford SHC final.

As formidable as it was facing the then eight-in-a-row chasing Ballygunner, the 20-point difference at the final whistle was more of a reflection of Roanmore’s greenness than their actual hurling ability.
