Connors ready for action

WATERFORD’S All Star corner-back Noel Connors has dismissed injury fears following last Sunday night’s seven-point victory against Tipperary in a glamour inter-county challenge.

Connors appeared to be carrying an injury as he left the Holycross/Ballycahill pitch but assured Déise followers that his late substitution was down to nothing more serious than fatigue.

Connors had played an U21 championship match with Passage on the previous day, when his club overturned a six-point deficit with seven minutes remaining to beat Mount Sion 3-11 to 0-13.
