The Shield was played on a League basis that year. Each team in the League played each other on one occasion and Waterford played Shamrock Rovers at Milltown losing 7-1. The Hoops won the Shield that year finishing top of the League losing only once against Cork Athletic by two goals to nil in the Mardyke.

Would therefore have to throw some doubt on the above scoreline. Maybe some Waterford or Hoops historian could find a match report.....

must have been 1955 then.

This is absolute crap. Please stop spouting such rubbish. I thought you were just ill informed but it appears you are just deliberately spouting crap now. Unfortunately for you such things are very easy to check.

Waterord won the FAI cup for the first time in their history in 1937 beating St. James's Gate F.C. and also won the Shield.

The club were league runners up in 1937-1938 season and again in the 1940-1941 season. Both Waterford and League winners Cork United finished on equal points but Cork were awarded the title as Waterford were unable to compete in the play-off due to a dispute regarding payment to players. Waterford won the Shield again in the 1952-1953 season and were again runners-up in the League this time to St. Patricks Athletic in the 1954-1955 season and again in the 1962-1963 season.

waterford went on to record a record score of 7-0 win over shamrock rovers in the shield compitition in 1955,

The club eventually won the league title for the first time in the 1965-1966 season and this was the beginning of a hugely successful spell for the club domestically. The following season they played in the preliminary round of the Champions cup against Vorwärts Berlin, an East German and Army side, losing 6-1 at Dalymount Park and 6-0 in East Berlin.

They won the Shield once again in 1968 -1969 season. Waterford won the league title three times in a row, in 1968,1969 and in 1970. The title was won by Cork Hibernians in 1971 but returned to Waterford in the 1971-1972 season and again in the 1972-1973 season. The following season Waterford won the FAI League Cup, however failed to regain the league title. They won the FAI Cup in 1980 beating St. Patricks Athletic and this was the clubs final honour as Waterford F.C.

Waterford's success in the league brought European football playing against massive clubs such as Manchester United and Celtic.

Subtle. :D You probably should have used capital letters and proper spelling to make it look more believable.

Nice one for reverting Schumi. The Man Himself, pull that crap on Foot.ie again and the suspension will turn into a ban.

The hilarious thing is that he thought he'd get away with it :D Anyway, I have to get back to altering my own Wikipedia page so it correctly reflects my recently acquired abilities to fly and spit fire through my nostrils
