Waterford have only lost once to Galway in championship hurling, the 2017 All Ireland final.
Brian Flannery was part of the Déise team that defeated the Tribesmen in the 1998 All Ireland quarter final at Croke Park. He saved a first half penalty from Darragh Coen in front of Hill 16. “I remember it well. I’d say it was the worst hit penalty ever in Croke Park! I knocked it out for a 65 and I remember jumping around a bit. Dickie Murphy from Wexford was reffing and he started laughing at me ‘My granny would have stopped that!’ There’s a beautiful picture in my mother’s kitchen of the save. It looks well in the photograph, diving on my knees to save it but as I said, it was poorly hit penalty.”

Democrats’ gambit to impose a fee on imports of carbon-intensive goods is being met with a split reaction among business interests that stand to benefit or suffer from a new form of protectionist trade policy linked to addressing climate change.
Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware and Rep. Scott Peters of California say their legislation, introduced on July 19, is intended to protect the competitiveness of U.S. industries exposed to domestic climate rules, and that could be further strained as the Biden administration develops more aggressive policies.
It would force companies abroad that are not subject to strict environmental rules and want to sell commodities to the United States to pay a price for each ton of carbon dioxide they emit in making their products, which would remove any competitive advantage they might otherwise have.

Synopsis
The EU is now proposing to tighten that cap further, while phasing out the number of free allowances it has long given to industries exposed to trade competition, like steel.

The EU proposal still needs to be negotiated among the 27 member countries and the European Parliament before becoming law.
The European Union’s sweeping new plan to tackle climate change includes a proposal that if adopted would be the first of its kind: A carbon tariff on imports from countries that aren’t taking similarly aggressive steps to slash their own planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon border taxes, which have been debated for years, are intended to solve a basic problem. If a single country tries to impose policies to cut emissions domestically, it runs the risk that, for instance, its steel and cement factories will face higher costs and be at a disadvantage to foreign competitors with looser environmental rules. If steel and cement production shifts overseas as a
