WATERFORD HAVE MADE two changes for Sunday’s Division 1A relegation play-off against Dublin.
Déise boss Derek McGrath has kept the changes to a minimum, showing faith in the same group that featured in last week’s 20-point shellacking against Kilkenny.
Ray Barry starts at corner-forward, mirroring the change made when Maurice Shanahan was forced off with a back spasm late in the first half in Nowlan Park.
Jamie Nagle, who was also replaced before the break, misses out on a place in the starting XV with Shane O’Sullivan dropping to wing-back and Seamus Prendergast slotting into the full-forward line.
Throw-in at Walsh Park is at 3.30pm.
Waterford (SH v Dublin): Stephen O’Keeffe (Ballygunner); Noel Connors (Passage), Shane Fives (Carrigtwohill), Tadgh de Burca (Clashmore/Kinsalebeg); Shane O’Sullivan (Ballygunner), Michael Walsh (Stradbally), Philip Mahony (Ballygunner); Kevin Moran (De La Salle), Stephen Molumphy (Ballyduff Upper); Jamie Barron (Fourmilewater), Pauric Mahony (Ballygunner), Austin Gleeson (Mount Sion); Brian O’Sullivan (Ballygunner), Seamus Prendergast (Ardmore), Ray Barry (Lismore).
