LAST UPDATE | 15 Dec 2020
AFTER COMING ON in Sunday’s All-Ireland senior hurling final, Iarlaith Daly is back in action for Waterford tonight in the Bord Gáis Energy Munster U20 semi-final.
Daly has been named at centre-forward in the Waterford team that will take on Tipperary in the Fraher Field at 7pm. Tipperary have made one change from their quarter-final success over Clare with Seán Ryan brought in at corner-forward as Seán Hayes drops to the bench.
The promising Lismore youngster Daly was brought on for the injured Tadhg De Búrca during Waterford’s senior final loss to Limerick in Croke Park.
He had come on for the senior side against Kilkenny, making an impression in that semi-final when he scored a point.

Waterford’s team will be captained by Tadgh Foley, one of three Ballygunner players named in the team. His club-mates Paddy Leavy and Kevin Mahony also started in their club’s county senior title win in August.
This will be Waterford’s opening game in the competition while Tipperary defeated the Banner by 1-19 to 0-12 in their quarter-final played at Semple Stadium eight weeks ago. Conor Bowe (0-7), Devon Ryan (1-4) and Andrew Ormond (0-3) were the scoring stars for Tipperary in that match.
Throw-in for tonight’s game is 7pm and it will be streamed live on TG4′s YouTube channel.
The winners will meet Cork in the final on Wednesday 23 December.
