Waterford must show confidence and ‘trust own ability’, says McGrath

Former Waterford star Ken McGrath is demanding victory against Laois in tomorrow evening’s All-Ireland senior hurling championship qualifier at Walsh Park.

McGrath insists there should be no playing down of expectations surrounding the team despite the heavy Munster semi-final replay defeat by Cork and the rapid progress of Laois under Seamus ‘Cheddar’ Plunkett.

Waterford boss Derek McGrath has described the fixture as a 50-50 tie, arguing that Laois present formidable opposition after running Galway to just two points in the Leinster quarter final at the start of the month.
