DEREK MCGRATH HAS given his Waterford players a chance to put their Munster final mauling to bed by naming an unchanged side for Sunday’s clash with Wexford.
The Déise shipped a huge 5-19 as they lost by 21 points against Tipperary a fortnight ago.
But McGrath this evening named the same starting XV for the All-Ireland quarter-final in Semple Stadium.
Meanwhile, Wexford have made just one injury-enforced change.
With Podge Doran ruled out, Harry Kehoe is named at wing-forward. Otherwise Liam Dunne has stuck with the same side that made history by beating Cork in Round 2 of the qualifiers.
