Waterford finally lost what had become their very marginal seat in Division One A. Shane O’Sullivan’s suspension, continuing long-term rehab of Stephen Daniels and Brian O’Halloran plus a slew of other injuries and a doubt over WIT Fitzgibbon star Jake Dillon’s recovery for the Cork match are concerns. Serviceable in the back nine but struggling to impact up front.


Last good day: Beating Cork in 2010 Munster final.
