Shanahan and Bennett lose out as Waterford ring the changes

THE Lismore duo of Allstar Dan Shanahan and Dave Bennett have been left out of Waterford side for Sunday's Allianz NHL opener against Wexford at Dungarvan.

There's no place either for Eoin McGrath, while UCC's Shane O'Sullivan, who starred against his home county in the final of the Waterford Crystal Shield last Sunday, is also named among the subs.

Also out are Ken McGrath, currently serving a suspension, his Mount Sion clubmate Tony Browne, who is working abroad, while the long serving Fergal Hartley recently announced his retirement from the inter-county scene.
