"We had a look at the five main barriers. I'm coaching the academy in Tramore, and we are getting good numbers. We would however like to see more girls sign up and hopefully, as the years go on, that will be the case."

De La Salle TY Student Charlie O'Callaghan, who plays at minor level for Waterford Hurling, spoke to WLR News about his love for the sport.

"Waterford Hurling will never be gone because there is always something new coming through the pipeline. There will always be good hurlers in Waterford. My life revolves around hurling. Ask anyone and they will tell you I know everything about hurling. Ask me anything."
