Moloney dropped for Waterford’s clash with Banner

ANDY MOLONEY is the major Waterford casualty from last Sunday’s National League final defeat by Galway.

The former Tipperary All-Ireland U21 winner, who was substituted after less than half an hour of the league decider, is not n the starting line-up for Sunday's first-round Munster championship game against Clare at Semple Stadium.

Moloney has struggled with his form since returning from injury earlier this year, and his demotion to the substitutes can hardly be rated a big surprise.
