LAST UPDATE | 11 Jul 2021
TIPPERARY BOSS JOHN Devane has named his starting side for tomorrow night’s Munster U20 hurling quarter-final against Waterford.
Five of the side started for the Tipperary team that lost the Munster U20 final last December against Cork, who went on to win the All-Ireland title that was eventually played last night.
Defenders Conor Whelan, team captain Kevin Maher and Johnny Ryan, and the forward pair of Kian O’Kelly and James Devaney all started in that game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Keith Ryan and Max Hackett both came on as substitutes in that game.
Waterford can call on nine players who started in the U20 semi-final defeat against Tipperary in Dungarvan last December with Dean Beecher, Rory Furlong, Sam Fitzgerald, Cian Wadding, Gavin Fives, Paddy Leavy, James Power, Kevin Mahony and Michael Kiely all included in this selection.
