DAVY FITZGERALD HAS unveiled his starting fifteen for Waterford’s 2023 seasonal bow tomorrow night.

The Deise face Tipperary in the Co-Op Superstores Munster hurling league, a game that marks the competitive start of Fitzgerald’s second spell in charge of Waterford.

From the team that featured at some stage in Waterford’s last championship appearance of 2022, their emphatic round-robin loss to Clare, there are six players named here in Mark Fitzgerald, Micheal Harney, Calum Lyons,  Shane McNulty, Neil Montgomery and DJ Foran.

Midfielder Paddy Leavey is the only player from club kingpins Ballygunner that is named to start here. 

The bench contains plenty of experience in the likes of Stephen Bennett, Austin Gleeson and Jamie Barron.

The Waterford Panel to play Tipperary in tomorrow's @MunsterGAA Hurling League game has been announced!
