Dessie Hutchinson has commended Ballygunner’s new management set-up for breathing new life into the playing group.

The Waterford captain is deeply grateful to former manager Darragh O’Sullivan for overseeing the greatest period in the club’s history that included the 2022 All-Ireland title, three consecutive Munster titles and six straight county championships.
