Austin Gleeson is confidently predicting a Ballygunner-Ballyhale All-Ireland club semi-final rematch. It’s a potential renewal of acquaintances by the two most recent holders of the Toomy Moore Cup that he is very much looking forward to.

Gleeson is plenty familiar with Ballygunner. The Mount Sion team he captained this summer came up nine short to the reigning All-Ireland club champions in the Waterford decider. In 2021, it was at the semi-final stage where Ballygunner turfed them out.
