Stack em high waterford hunts12/7/2023 ![]() When play switched to the other end a strong run by Mathew Queenan ended in a foul, but the resultant free was wide. In the early goings Kerry were winning plenty of possession, but had multiple wides.Ĭonor Keaney eventually got them on the scoreboard and Martin Stack followed with a pointed free. Big Tom Flynn drove the resultant kick with relative ease over the black spot. The ball was eventually scrambled from the danger zone for a “45”. Mayo snapped up possession from the throw-in and nearly had the ball in the net before a Kerry player touched it. In this intermediate game Mayo seemed to start strongly while it took Kerry a while to settle and find their groove. Player of Match Ciaran Kirwan, Referee Chris Dalton.

Once again Waterford stepped up production to finish strongly despite the best efforts of Tipp. Goals now seemed to be on the menu as Ryan, Tipp’s most powerful forward, sliced his way for a third goal. The Tipp rally was short-lived as prolific scorer Kirwan sent over a long range point before crashing in a goal. Then a great individual vignette of play by Ryan set up Mulrooney for a goal to break temporarily Waterford’s momentum. However for the third quarter it was very much back to the Waterford script as they hit over 7pts while limiting Tipp to just two. Upon resumption Rudhan Mulrooney entered the fray for Tipp and had an immediate impact as he landed two fine points. However Waterford always seemed to have an extra gear when the pressure came as they outscored their opponents by 7pts to 2 pts for the remainder of the period, to lead by 0-17 to 1-7 at the break. Tipp’s cause got a boost when a good pass from Pat Ryan set up Mark Caulfield for a goal. However midway Waterford were ahead by double scores, 0-5 to 0-10 as Parr, Kirwan and Emmett Hunter were on target. Tipp were staying in touch as Hammersley added a brace and Pat Ryan chipped in as well. Indeed they might have gone further ahead had not keeper Keith Robinson pulled off a brilliant save. ![]() Waterford went ahead courtesy of three unanswered points, a brace from Parr and a single from Owen Hunt. Meanwhile Waterford were quickly out of the blocks as Parr scored two frees and his counterpart Conor Hammersley did likewise at the other end. In this high scoring game, two hurlers in particular stood out, that would be center forward Donal Parr and full forward Ciaran Kirwan, who between them accounted for 1-21 of the total.
