“I have given it a good decade of my life playing with Waterford,” he said. “I absolutely loved it. I’ve made friends for life. Memories that will last me for a lifetime. But I think life moves on for people. Sometimes you just need to put a pin in it.” In Waterford’s Munster senior hurling league encounter against Clare on Sunday, 10 points from Aidan McCarthy helped the Banner to a 1-24 to 2-19 victory at Cusack Park. Waterford led by four points at half time, Stephen Bennett’s converted penalty seeing the visitors go in 1-8 to 0-7 ahead at the interval. But Clare were the dominant side in the second half and showed some excellent shooting to take the victory.
Elsewhere, Brian Hayes scored an injury-time winner for Cork against Limerick as Cork set up a Munster senior hurling league final against Tipperary next weekend. Cork ran out 0-20 to 1-16 winners over a largely experimental Limerick side at Páirc Úi Rinn, with John Kiely’s All-Ireland champions having only returned from a team holiday in recent days.
