James McGrath kicked an injury time winner as the Waterford footballers fought back from five points down to defeat Antrim 1-9 to 1-8 in wretched conditions at the WIT Arena.

A Stephen Beatty goal put the away team 1-8 to 0-6 ahead entering the final quarter but the home side didn't throw in the towel.

Dylan Guiry fired in a goal on 57 minutes and points from Sean O'Donovan, JJ Hutchinson and McGrath gave the Deise back to back wins in Division 4.

The Nire clubman was pleased to get a second successive win.
