The draws for the Senior Hurling and Football Championships took place at last night's County Board meeting held in Lawlor's Hotel. We were drawn in Group A of the Senior Hurling Championship where we will play Roanmore, Ballygunner and Clonea. In the Senior Football Championship we will face Kilmacthomas, Kilrossanty and Gaultier in Group B.

There are three groups in both hurling and football. The top team in each group qualifies automatically for the quarter final along with the best second placed team from the three groups. All other teams play off to determine the final four quarter finalists.

The championships will commence on the last weekend of March with two rounds of hurling followed by two football matches. The dates for the remaining group games are subject to Waterford's progress in the Munster Hurling Championship.
