Deise changes for Clare clash

Three Championship newcomers will start for Waterford this Sunday when the Deise take on Clare in the Munster Hurling Championship.

Lismore’s Paudie Prendergast, a member of this year’s UCC Fitzgibbon Cup winning squad, gets the nod for his début at left half-back.

While in attack Jamie Barron of Fourmilewater and Jake Dillon of De La Salle fill the corner-forward positions.

Only five of the Waterford team which lined out against Clare in last year’s Championship will start on Sunday. 

Corner back Noel Connors came on as a substitute in last year’s game, and lines out at corner back this Sunday.  He says the Deise’s defenders will be looking to disrupt Clare’s passing style.
