"WE have been through it all before against Kilkenny, Clare and Cork but we will never again experience dismay, anguish and disappointment to the extent that was palpable at the end of this absorbing and breathtaking hurling contest at Croke Park on Sunday last. One could almost touch the disbelief of the silent Waterford supporters filing out of the ground as behind them Limerick supporters celebrated with their players as Waterford had a week earlier with theirs after the Cork game." GAA: More semi-final heartbreak for Waterford as Limerick shock DéiseBy: Phil Fanning in the Waterford News & Star.

My lovely bride, my lovely daughter and my ugly self were all lucky enough to be IN County Waterford the day of this very interesting fixture. The entirety of County Waterford was dressed in blue and white- some in "Port Lairge" banners, some blue and white checkered racing flag types and some just good old-fashioned hand painted signs saying "We Support Waterford". The placement of these signs started in east County Cork and extended all the way to Kilkenny Town. I think I actually heard hearts breaking in Waterford when they lost.
But screw 'em- they beat the Rebels the week before. Up Cork!
Up nothin. They beat the Rebels who were short Óg O hAilpin, O'Sullivan and Óg Cusack.
