Former Waterford full back Barry Coughlan says that Ballygunner have 'failed' over the past two years.
Barry Coughlan says Ballygunner have failed plenty over recent years and aren’t as good as they are made out to be.
The Waterford City side went all the way to All-Ireland glory in 2022 with Harry Ruddle’s dramatic last gasp goal defeating Ballyhale Shamrocks. The winner of that one will face the Ulster champions in the All-Ireland semi-final in mid December - either Portaferry or Slaughtneil. “We’ve won a few Munsters and that but we aren’t as great as people make us out to be in a sense because we have failed over the last couple of years.So what is it about Ballygunner that has hurling fans rating them so highly.
The ease with which they dismissed a seasoned outfit like Loughmore-Castleiney was impressive, as they hit an unanswered 1-6 in the lead-up to half-time just as the Tipp men had closed the gap to one point. “We were probably lucky to get up as much as we were in the first half and it gave us that bit of a buffer in the second half. They never die.
