Waterford Camogie manager Sean Power admits losing Vikki Falconer in their early stages of their heavy All-Ireland final loss to Cork affected his players greatly.

Power confirmed the corner-back had been given the task of limiting the threat of Rebels forward Amy O’Connor, who would go on to score 3-7 – including a hat-trick inside two minutes at the beginning of the second half – following Falconer’s withdrawal.
