2002 at Parnell Park
Dublin 1-19 Waterford 1-14
A bolt from the blue came on a Bank Holiday Monday in March 2002 as Kevin Fennelly’s charges emerged victorious. Shane Ryan, David Curtin and Conal Keaney all starred in this upset. They were also boosted by a penalty save and a second half goal from Ger Ennis. One local newspaper described it as “the worst display by a Waterford team since the infamous championship defeat by Kerry in 1993.”
2003 at Fraher Field

Twelve months later, Dublin repeated the dose. The away side played with a strong wind in the opening half and returned to the dressing room with a remarkable fifteen point lead (2-12 to 0-3). Goals from Ken McGrath and Dave Bennett in the second period couldn’t prevent another shock result with the Sky Blues claiming a two point win.
2004 at Parnell Park

2009 at Parnell Park
Dublin 0-15 Waterford 1-11
On the day before, Ireland won the Grand Slam and Bernard Dunne was also crowned world champion after a thrilling fight against Ricardo Cordoba. Davy Fitzgerald brought his charges along to the bout at the National Stadium and as a result they didn’t retire for the night until the early hours. Stephen Molumphy netted in the first half and Adrian Power performed heroics between the posts but Dublin finished the stronger and Alan McCrabbe fired the decisive point.
2010 at Walsh Park
Waterford 4-13 Dublin 0-12
The versatile Kevin Moran managed 1-5 from his new position of wing forward as Waterford broke clear of Dublin in the second half. Gary Hurney’s goal gave the hosts a half time lead of 1-10 to 0-6. Second half majors from Shane Walsh, Stephen Molumphy and Moran ensured an emphatic thirteen point winning margin. A miserable day for the Dubs was compounded by the loss of All Star Alan McCrabbe to injury.
2011 at Walsh Park
Waterford 3-16 Dublin 2-19
Conal Keaney’s point taking and a Declan O’Dwyer strike sent Anthony Daly’s Dubs into an eight point lead during the first half of this see saw league opener.

The home side sprinted five in front but a David O’Callaghan goal and Conal Keaney’s leveller pegged them back.
2012 at Fraher Field

Eoin Kelly angled one over from practically under the scoreboard towards the finish as Michael Ryan's men performed a great escape act.
