Fourmilewater dare to dream of toppling Ballygunner in first Waterford final

Fourmilewater face the ultimate test when they face 13-in-a-row chasing Ballygunner in the club's first ever Waterford SHC final

It’s Buster Douglas v Mike Tyson in Dungarvan on Sunday. Greece v Portugal, Euro 2004. New York Giants v New England Patriots Superbowl XLII. Or at least Fourmilewater hope that’s how it turns out.

In their first ever final, they encounter 1/10 shots Ballygunner aiming for a 13th consecutive senior county title. Fourmilewater’s unbeaten run of seven games is a tidy return, but it pales in comparison to Ballygunner’s winning SHC stretch of 73.
