Watergrasshill's adopted Tipperary son not surprised by their 2024 leap

Waterrasshill has gone nearly four years without a championship group stage win before this season. Now they're in the Premier Intermediate hurling final against Carrigaline.

Work in Little Island took Eddie Enright to Cork in 2002. It took him to Watergrasshill. That’s where he and his wife opted to settle. Cork was no stranger, Enright having pocketed three Fitzgibbon Cup medals while a student at UCC.

An All-Ireland medal winner and All-Star recipient in 2001, Enright continued to travel back up the M8 for Thurles and Tipp commitments following the move. He did so up until 2008 when club transfer and a decision to finish out his playing days in adopted colours ended the road trips.
