Stradbally 2-8 Nire 1-4 Stradbally earned their place in the Waterford GAA history books on Sunday, after they saw off the challenge of rivals Nire to claim their fourth consecutive county title at Dungarvan.

Following Curran's goal, Stradbally added a further 1-5 to a solitary point from Nire. Stradbally lead by 0-3 to 0-0 after 15 minutes, but Nire held them scoreless for the remainder of the half as they tagged on 1-3 before the break, their goal coming from Brian Wall.
