Sligo make the long trek to Dungarvan next
Sunday to play against the Deise ladies in the third round of the Tesco
Homegrown league. This will be an intriguing battle as both teams have 100%
records in the league to date and sit proudly on top of the table. Both teams
recorded one point victories at home to Wexford in the earlier rounds and while
Waterford were very impressive against Fermanagh the last day out, the same
could be said for the Connacht ladies who impressed in their first round game
against Longford.
In the corresponding game last season
Waterford who were flying high at the top of the league were brought down to
earth up in Sligo when the home team recorded a six points victory on the
scoreline of 1-15 to 1-9. Sligo were impressive also in the championship last
year and were eventually beaten by the intermediate champions Down in a
hum-dinger of a quarter final on the score line Down 2-14 Sligo 1-10
Waterford are progressing nicely under new
management and the mix of experienced players with a good sprinkling of the
minor panel is paying dividends. Competition is strong for places on the team
and manager Pat Sullivan is delighted with the response given in training.
Sunday’s game is yet another big step on the learning curve for this Waterford team
but if they go about their task in a similar manner to the way they approached
the Fermanagh game they should come out on top on Sunday next.
Please note that Sunday’s game is timed for
11.45 a.m. (much earlier than usual) in Fraher Field with Jonathan Murphy in
charge of proceedings.
