Darren Mulhearne notably made his championship debut for Waterford against Clare in the quarter-final at the age of 46, believed to be the oldest player to debut. Two of his opponents in that game, and fellow debutants, had a combined age that was less than that of Mulhearne. He kept a clean sheet, in a one-point loss. Mulhearne was called into the team after Aaron Beresford sustained an injury. Mulhearne had first been part of the Waterford senior team as a 17-year-old schoolboy, but never played. [3] [4] [5]
The Munster championship is contested by all six counties in the Irish province of Munster.
