Waterford Plan For Their Future

MUNSTER soccer fans are in for a treat over the next couple of seasons if the people behind Waterford United and Cobh Ramblers have anything to do with it.

When the sides came together at St Colman's Park last month and produced a good, old-fashioned Munster derby they showed they both have the spirit and drive to make their mark on the bigger stage of the eircom League Premier Division.

First division leaders Waterford came out on top then, winning 3-2 to stave off a brave fightback from fourth-placed Ramblers and it is not inconceivable that both clubs will be joining their southern neighbours, Cork City in the top flight next summer in a three-way battle for provincial supremacy.
