Festivities throw in tomorrow night in Brogans from 6 o’clock with a whole host of guests including Aidan Fogarty, Mark Dowling, Kieran Joyce,Niall Bergin & more.
You can pop down to Brogans on the night, get your questions in, and I heard through the grapevine there may be a chance of snatching yourself some tickets if you head down.
Elsewhere Waterford manager David Fitzgerald believes that there is added pressure on current intercounty GAA managers compared to in previous years.
The former Wexford and Clare boss said that public opinion on teams has changed since his managerial debut in 2008.
