DESSIE HUTCHINSON AND JACK Fagan are set to make their senior hurling championship debuts for Waterford in Saturday’s Munster senior hurling semi-final against Cork.
Former Brighton soccer player Hutchinson has lit up the Waterford club championship in action for kingpins Ballygunner while Meath native Fagan has been in impressive form for De La Salle.
Fagan is selected at centre-forward and Hutchinson at right corner-forward in a team that operates without regular captain and free-taker Pauric Mahony. The forward line is completed by the Bennett brothers, the experienced Kevin Moran and Lismore’s Jack Prendergast.
Tadhg de Búrca is named at centre-back after recovering from a cruciate torn in September last year with Conor Prunty captaining the side at full-back and Austin Gleeson named at left-half back by manager Liam Cahill.
Throw-in on Saturday at Semple Stadium is 3.30pm with TV coverage live on Sky Sports and Cork are set to name their side tomorrow night.
The Waterford Senior Hurling Panel to face Cork this Saturday at 3:30pm in Thurles has been announced...
