It wasn’t so long ago that senior county final appearances rained like confetti on Mount Sion. And in them, Ballygunner were feeling the edge of their sword. Between 2000 and 2006, they won five titles and silenced The ‘Gunners each time.
Then everything changed. Up to this weekend, Mount Sion had featured in just two deciders since 2006 and on both occasions they were humbled by their rivals across Waterford city. They may still have the bragging rights in the all-time roll of honour but in the last 19 years Ballygunner have more than halved the gap, from 25 to 12.
