Cullinane: Déise fault lines repaired in time for Offaly test

Waterford selector Seán Cullinane believes they have recovered from their Munster championship exit and repaired the fault lines in time for Saturday’s preliminary round qualifier with Offaly.

The former inter-county full-back acknowledges morale dipped in the camp as that eight-point defeat to Clare sunk in. Lifting the spirits comes high on the priority list ahead of this weekend.

“Mentally, it’s about turning them around and getting them in a positive frame of mind. They were down but I suppose everyone was down, including the supporters and the selectors. “It was hard to put your finger on it. They hurled so well for 45-odd minutes, it’s hard to understand what happened in the last 25 minutes.
