Waterford hurling star Austin Gleeson hopes yesterday's Munster U21 triumph is the first of many to come for his native county.

Gleeson was instrumental in helping the Deise to a historic 2-19 to 0-15 victory over Tipperary and the Mount Sion sensation stated afterwards that the margin of the win came as no surprise.

"We knew that we could do things like that, and that's the calibre of players we have," Gleeson told RTÉ Sport.

"There's a reason there's 13 or 14 on the senior panel. The players that we have there, they can go as far as they want to go in the game and that's purely because of the work they do on and off the field.

"We just have to keep going like that. That's only the first of many titles I hope for Waterford."

Asked about Tipp's hammering of Waterford in the Munster senior final earlier this month, Gleeson added: "That was parked the Monday after the game. We had to park it.

"We had to use that hurt that we had going into the last three games and that's exactly what we done. We just need to keep going the way we're going and God only knows where it could bring us."
