Take the Ruddle lad out of the equation and the verdict is even worse.
An awful weaknesses in the Munster club teams,it should be noted.
Ating blass and beetroot soup isnt conducive to silverware at an national level.Id suggest
Na Pairsaigh are a club with about 30 years history. No wonder no one gave a shit. If Doon won an ireland club people would care. Club with a proper history.
Ah no one would care beyond the hour or two after the game. No matter who wins it.

If my biggest rivals won it id certainty care. Sure you could say that about any game.
Context is key.
Its a lot âeasierâ for Galway clubs who only need to be ready twice than a Munster team who need to be on the ball at least four and usually five times after their County Final to win it out.
St Thomasâs great team as they were only won 5 games outside Galway from 2012 onwards and have two All Irelandâs to their name. Na Piarsaigh of Limerick won something like 13 games outside Limerick between 2011 and 2018 but just the one All Ireland. Ballygunner have won 20 games outside Waterford from 2017 onwards.
The more games you play the more questions you have to answer and more times things can go wrong.

Thats another issue. Galway clubs should not be getting byes to All Ireland Semi Finals.

Ah I dont mind it. Its one of the last great remnants of tradition.
A Galway club team, like cowboys from the wild west, rocking on to Thurles or Portlaoise and butchering the fuck out of anything that moves is one of the great sights in modern sport.
The fact none of the Galway Club games are on Clubber and except for the podcasht nobody outside the county would even know the club game exists up there, only adds to the mystique.

Ah youâd get over it quickly surely. No one cares who win an All Ireland Club outside the club and perhaps county. All in all, its forgotten in very little time. Iâd forgotten NAP won one.
Na Fianna won the hurling this year. Just in case youâve forgotten like.
I actually had 
I couldnât even tell you off top of my head who won the Senior Football and thatâs no word of a lie
Cula Bula,!

Ballygunner clean sweep averted. Lismore beat them 3-14 to 2-15 in the U14 Division 1 final.

They need Scully Ryan back. Infairness they wouldnât have near the pick that Comeragh have.
I hope they get relegated shortly
I was driving yesterday and heard Pauric Lodge reporting from Clare final. Lodge was contrasting the colour and atmosphere of the Clare final to its Waterford counterpart where Lodge stated that the pre match band is no longer in operation at county finals due to the one sided nature of matches with Ballygunnerâs dominance. With no hurling in the county from the start of September it is sad times for Waterford hurling.

Azzurri Walsh Park probably the most exotically named GAA Ground
The Waterford Senior Hurling Final as an occasion is now a complete non-event and totally moribund.
There was much more of a build up and sense of anticipation about the 5th consecutive meeting of Gailtir v DLS in the Senior Camogie Final this afternoon. All the ingredients there for a proper rivalry. Two teams with next to nothing between them over last few years, that donât like each other with plenty of controversy on and off the field in last years finals. Big names in charge, Pat OâNeill (Gowran/Kilkenny) over Gailtir and Joey Carton/John Mullane over DLS.
Another cracker of a game in Carriganore this afternoon that went to the wire and a big crowd at it.
