Thousands globally listened to WLR online for Waterford's League win

People from all corners of the globe listened online to WLR for the Waterford senior hurlers' League final win over Cork on Saturday.

The game in Thurles finished 4 -20 to 1-23 in favour of the Deise, and there were wild scenes of celebration at Semple Stadium as Abbeyside man Conor Prunty lifted the Dr Croke Cup.

It’s a third national final for Liam Cahill and Waterford, but the first one they’ve come away from with the goods in tow.

Kieran O'Connor's commentary has become legendary all over the world, and his popularity was again proven on Saturday as a whopping 11,496 people in Ireland tuned into the WLR app to hear his and Michael Ryan's account of the match. This doesn't include the thousands who listened via FM radio.
