The Waterford Cats - A Team In Waterford With Kilkenny-like Vertical Stripes May Not Have Been Too Popular In Inter-county Circles - But These Lads Look Like They Could Cope With The Slagging! A Fine Poole Shot Of A Hurling Team To Remind Us That Yet Another All Ireland Season Is In Full Swing. With Thanks To All Of The Contributions Today, In Particular Niall McAuley, Swordscookie, J.coffey78, And Guliolopez, We Know That The Team Pictured (or At Least Most Of Them) Challenged For The 1916 Waterford County Hurling Final Around The Time Of This Photo. They Forced A Replay With Ferrybank GAA Club. But Lost Out To Ferrybank In The End 5-0 To 3-3. Guliolopez Helpfully Links Us To A Write Up Of The Replayed Final Which Lists The Team As:  T King (goal), J Hogan, L Cantwell, R Cantwell, P Durley, T Smyth, W Walsh, J Power, M Fitzpatrick, M Baldwin, P Purcell, W Sullivan, T McCormack, J Geary, R McKenna A Player Who Didn't Make The Replay (D Quinn) May Also Be Captured Here. It's Proposed That, As Perhaps The Person Who Commissioned The Photo, J(ohn?) Hogan Could Be The Captain Pictured.... Photographer: A. H.
