Senior calls give Déise headache

Munster U21 HC semi-final

Which is the better scenario for an U21 team management perspective: having a host of senior players on your panel, as is the case with Waterford in this evening’s Munster U21 semi-final at Walsh Park (7.30pm), or having just a few (four), as is the case with Cork?

Certainly the former can put a damper on preparations, as admitted by Waterford manager Peter Queally. Some 10 of their starters have had senior experience this year in league and championship.
