De La Salle see off Roanmore in Walsh Park thriller

De La Salle have booked their place in a first Waterford Senior Hurling Championship final since 2019.

The Gracedieu outfit saw off Roanmore by a solitary point at a sunsoaked Walsh Park - the final scoring being 0-19 to 0-18 in their favour, Sean Carton was the hero on the day with a 63rd minner.

Reuben Halloran hit 0-10 on the day while Jack Fagan and Kevin Moran also played a huge part on the day.

Goalkeeper Shaun O'Brien made three tremendous stops - the pick of which was to deny Lee Hearne with ten minutes left. The sides were level a whopping fourteen times.
