Abbeyside will try and derail Ballygunner’s 11-in-a-row bid when the two sides meet in the Waterford senior hurling championship final next weekend.

The Gunners kept it to script today by seeing off Passage on a comprehensive 0-22 to 0-13 scoreline at Walsh Park, where Pauric Mahony hit 0-13 for the winners.

The 2022 All-Ireland champions were 0-7 to 0-5 ahead after 30 minutes before going on to lead by four at the break and then powering to victory with a strong second-half display.

Earlier this afternoon, Abbeyside saw off Mount Sion by 3-20 to 0-19 at the same venue to book their first final berth in six years.

Michael Kiely (penalty) and Charlie Teen were among those to find the net for the Dungarvan men who had trailed by 0-11 to 1-7 at half-time.
