First Half
There was good work from the Waterford forwards in working the ball up the park, but Mikey Kearney’s shot on goal was the only real threat on goal for the first half.

Westmeath struggled with balls not going to hand and needing more than one attempt to get the ball off the ground, but with that taken into account, they did look dangerous at times and created problems for the Waterford defence.
