Write Waterford off at your peril, cautions Doyle

DON’T write off Waterford! That’s the advice from former Tipperary manager Michael Doyle in the face of growing doubts about their ability to beat Clare in the opening round of the Guinness Munster SHC in Thurles on Sunday.

Doyle has a better appreciation than most of what Justin McCarthy and his players are experiencing since their NHL Final flop to Galway.

Twelve months ago, his side were pipped by Kilkenny in a thrilling League decider before losing to Clare in the championship seven days later.
