It's a bumper day in the County Senior hurling Championship with five Round 3 games down for decision.
Fraher Field stages two double bills, the first game got underway @ 12 Noon and Dungarvan hold a comfortable 1-15 to 0-4 lead against Clonea in their re-scheduled clash.
The Blues booked their place in the League Final last weekend and will be favourites to see off last year's Intermediate champions who are pointless to date.
Fraher Field looking magnificent in the early morning sunshine! First up at 12 noon is @clgdungarvan vs @CloneaGAA . Very appropriate that The National Flag is half-mast in tribute to The Late Jim Dee, who was laid to rest yesterday. Dungarvan and Waterford had no finer stalwart. pic.twitter.com/VrXdZZIAyq

That'll be followed @ 1:30 pm by a crucial clash between Mount Sion and Fourmilewater.
A win for Sion would be put them in a good position to qualify automatically for the last eight, but their manager John Meaney is taking nothing for granted against the Ballymacarbry outfit.
John says they're keen to get back to the Quarter-Final stages.
Fourmile selector Tom Guiry says there's never much to choose between the sides.
At the same in St. Molleran's last year's finalists Abbeyside entertain Roanmore with both sides seeking a Quarter-Final spot.
It's back to Fraher Field for a double header later this evening.
Lismore and Passage get proceedings underway when they meet at 6pm.
The sides have produced some classic games in recent seasons, Passage boss is former Kilkenny goalkeeper Michael Walsh, he told WLR Sport this is another challenge for his young players.
That'll be followed @ 7:30pm by the meeting of defending champions Ballygunner who take on Tallow.
The Gunners are unbeaten to date this season, while Tallow picked up their first win defeating Clonea last time out.
Tallow are under the stewardship of former Gunners boss Denis Walsh and he's well aware of the task.
Denis says it's a difficult time of the year to keep everyone together.
The @ArenaWit and Waterford are looking stunning ahead of the #RenaultGAAWorldGames which are beginning in a matter of hours!
Be sure and get down to Waterford city tomorow evening from 6.30 to join us in our opening parade celebrations!#gaabelong pic.twitter.com/H0OrhrPncV— GAA World Games (@GAAworldgames) July 27, 2019
