GARY HUNT’S THOUGHTS
“We are excited to finally get the season underway after a good pre-season where the whole group put in some great work on & off the pitch.
This is almost the litmus test for our group to really see where we are in comparison to the standards expected at this level but it’s one we will fully embrace.
Personally I’m really excited to take on this challenge and lead this group as we become the first ever women’s team to represent the club at the highest level of the game in this country. We want this team to represent what Waterford is about and with the support of our fans I’m sure together we will make great strides both in the short & long term.
Finally we have to acknowledge & thank all those behind the scenes in helping the club complete the female pathway and long may it last.”
