With most county championships now concluded, attention turns to provincial action as Waterford clubs prepare for busy weeks ahead in the Munster Club Championships across hurling, football, camogie and ladies’ football.
Reigning county senior hurling champions Ballygunner will open their provincial campaign on Sunday, November 2nd, when they travel to the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick to face either Doon or Na Piarsaigh in the Munster Senior Club Hurling Championship quarter-final at 4.00pm. The semi-finals are fixed for Sunday, November 16th, with the final on Sunday, November 30th.
In the Munster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship, Tallow will represent Waterford following their run to the county final, stepping up as Ballygunner’s involvement in the senior grade prevents two teams from the same club playing at provincial level.

Kilrossanty, county junior hurling champions, will open their Munster campaign at home to The Banner of Clare on Saturday, November 1st, at a Waterford venue to be confirmed. Throw-in is at 1.30pm, with semi-finals on Saturday, November 15th and the final on Saturday, November 29th.
