It is seen as one of the toughest beats in inter-county football, but new Waterford football manager Paul Shankey doesn’t see any cause for “doom and gloom” around the Déise’s 2024 prospects.

Shankey says he was pleased with the performance put in by his players despite the 17-point defeat against Clare on Sunday.
