Crunch time in Waterford football championship

The Waterford senior football championship has reached the business end of proceedings, with no room left for error as semi-finals begin to loom large on the horizon.

Kilrossanty are back in the last eight following last weekend's hard-fought local derby win over Stradbally.

Alan Dunwoody goaled in the opening half as Darren Mulhearne's side triumphed 1.11 to 1.08 in Fraher Field.

They will now take on Western rivals Brickey Rangers in Sunday's Quarter-Final.

Saturday will also form a double bill in Fraher Field with Rathgormack and Clashmore/Kinsalebeg getting senior proceedings underway at 3 pm.

Then at 4.30 pm will be the clash of champions The Nire who face Gaultier with both sides set on securing their place in the final four.

The relegation final will also take place this Saturday with Stradbally and Portlaw both aiming to preserve their status as a senior side for 2024. The two sides will take to the pitch in Kill for a four o'clock start.
