Déise dream of top flight return

Neither Waterford or Armagh will view this game as their plateau.

For both counties this is the chance to return to the level they believe they belong.

Waterford reached eight senior finals out of 10 from 1991 to 2000, winning five, but now find themselves in the second tier. But for manager Pat O’Brien, it has been a case of allowing the side to gain the experience needed to return to senior.
