Tricky start for DLS Waterford in Harty defence

CHAMPIONS DLS Waterford open the defence of their Harty Cup title with a tricky local derby clash against Waterford Colleges at Walsh Park tomorrow.

DLS can call on six of last year’s winning side, goalkeeper Stephen O’Keeffe, defenders Noel Connors, Philip Mahony, Stephen Daniels, along with forwards Stephen Power and Peter McCarthy and will be keen to get their campaign off to a winning start.

Waterford Colleges, who are an amalgamated side, have threatened to win this championship but have always come up short in the knock out stages. Talk is this year’s side is a well balanced one and having beaten the city boys in three of the last four meetings, they will fancy their chances again.
