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.
That net bulging shot provided the impetus that Waterford needed and gave them a foothold in the game that they had been missing early on.
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.

THERE may be a new broom at the helm in Offaly GAA but Michael Fennelly will still be very aware of the county s record of impatience with county football and hurling managers. Despite that, the former Kilkenny star is very much focused on the long term future and development of players.
Offaly have been notoriously impatient with managers for severals years now. Several managers have been ditched by the county after one year or in mid-season in both codes since the 1990s and Fennelly steps into an environment where the county is desperately searching for hurling answers.
