GALWAY AND WATERFORD have announced their teams ahead of their Division 1 Group A clash in the Allianz Hurling League on Sunday at Walsh Park [throw-in, 2pm].

Both sides had league games cancelled last weekend on account of the weather, with the Déise still sitting at the top of the group ahead of Sunday’s showdown.

Liam Cahill has called upon some experienced campaigners for the game, with Shane Fives and Kevin Moran leading the charge in defence.

Conor Gleeson and Pauric Mahony are familiar faces at midfield while Stephen Bennett takes up his position at full-forward.

Meanwhile, Shane O’Neill has also unveiled an experienced side for Galway. Gearoid McInerney and Padraic Mannion will bring plenty of strength to their back-line.

Joe Canning has been named to start at centre-half forward while Conor Cooney and Conor Whelan are dangerous scoring outlets for the Tribesmen.
