Sunday represented Waterford’s heaviest beating, across spring and summer fare, in seven years. It represented the county’s 10th double-digit beating of the past seven years.

Against that, the team pummeled 14 points by Cork was callow in the extreme. The starting line-up contained just six starters from Waterford's final championship outing of 2025, that also away to Cork.
