- County Senior Football Championship
Gaultier 2-9 De La Salle 1-11
Our senior footballers suffered a heartbreaking one point defeat to Gaultier in a hard fought and entertaining game in Walsh Park last Sunday. A good second half performance was not enough to secure a result against the more experienced Gaultier side and we now find ourselves in a relegation dogfight. In fairness to our lads a draw was probably a fair result but it was not to be.
We had first use of the wind and got off to the worst possible start when the referee awarded a penalty against us in the second minute which was duly converted. Points from Mitchell Casey and Patrick Kennedy saw us trail by the minimum after ten minutes before Gaultier pointed a free in the 12th minute. We got a boost in the 14th minute when Lee Hayes’ high ball broke and was finished to the net by Colm Morris to put us ahead for the first time. Ian Cantwell followed with an excellent point in the 18th minute. Gaultier then scored four points in a row before Ian Cantwell pointed again to leave us trailing 1-5 to 1-4 at half time.
Resuming against the wind we scored three points in the first five minutes when Ian Cantwell scored from a free before Mitchell Casey and Ian Cantwell added points from play. Gaultier replied with a point from a free before points from Colm Morris and Mitchell Casey had us ahead 1-9 to 1-6 midway through the half. Gaultier reduced the margin in the 16th minute with a point and three minutes later they goaled to lead by a point. Our lads battled back and points by Colm Morris and Lee Hayes put us back in front with six minutes to go but Gaultier finished the stronger with two late points securing their victory.
Scorers: Colm Morris 1-2, Ian Cantwell 0-4 (0-1free), Mitchell Casey 0-3, Patrick Kennedy andLee Hayes 0-1 each.

- County Duty
Well Done to team captain Shane Ryan, Eddie Meaney and the Waterford minor hurlers on overcoming the disappointment of losing the replayed Munster final to defeat Dublin in the All Ireland quarter final in Thurles on Sunday.
