Whatās your prediction mate? 15, 20 points.
Prunty will need to do a job on Pauric Mahony and Furry will need to do untold. Fraher Field definitely an advantage but realistically Ballygunner will win by 10 points minimum.
From a coaching/administration point of view they are a much better organised outfit than the Waterford County Board.
Windy, exposed ground is Fraher Field.
Abbeyside 0-5 Ballygunner 0-3 after 22 minutes. Abbeyside hurling like men possessed so far.
Ballygunner by 0-9 to 0-6 at half time. Went up a few gears last 10 minutes.
Good few players have been culled by Fanning in the past week
Who?
Jake Dillon, Tommy Ryan, Ian Kenny and Peter Hogan the names I heard.
Heās after calling up an 18 year old from his own club mount sion.
Tommy Ryan is well worth his place on any county panel . A lovely hurler .
Iād be very surprised if Tommy Ryan has been cut.
Besides Ozzie, Mt Sion havenāt produced an underage hurler in 10yrs
Iād be surprised about Tommy Ryan and maybe Jake Dillon, Kenny was way down on the panel and Hogan is permanently injured
Hogan sustained a shocking hand injury in a challenge vs Sixmilebridge a few weeks back. Not sure if/when heāll be back.
The culprit received a 6 month ban courtesy of referee Fergal Horgan.
I was shocked too when I heard Tommy Ryan was cut
Tommy Ryan doesnāt have what it takes for inter county hurling.
He got goals against Cork, Limerick and Clare in the championship this year.
Jake Dillon isnāt top class but heās a serious workhorse and Iād be surprised if he isnāt in the 30 best hurlers in Waterford.
Tommy Ryan has improved in recent years.
thought he played well this year
Fanning off to a rough start.
Couple of players walking away and then thereās the social media activity of certain Ballygunner players.
Although this could be about some dual minor issue thatās going on too
