The first piece of silverware in Munster was presented on Sunday as Waterpark were crowned Casey Cup champions.
The Casey Cup is a Waterford City cup and is 45 years old.
The original Casey cup was retired back to the Casey family this year as a new cup was presented by Shay Casey, son of Bill, on behalf of the Casey family. This cup will continue to be contested for years to come.
