Connors to delay ankle surgery

WATERFORD defender Noel Connors plans to delay undergoing surgery on an ankle problem.

Connors first picked up the injury two years ago and suffered a recurrence in training last week which ruled him out of last Saturday night’s Allianz National Hurling League tie against Tipperary.

But a desire to avoid a spell on the sidelines has swayed him against getting an operation and he is hopeful of figuring in next Sunday’s game with Cork in the Fraher Field.
