Waterford playing down promotion talk

Waterford defender Noel Connors says promotion is not yet a consideration for the team despite Derek McGrath’s side sitting top of Division 1B.

Victories against Antrim in Walsh Park next Sunday and away to Wexford the following weekend should see the Déise make a swift return to the top flight after being relegated last year.

However, Limerick, who they lead on points difference, have two home games remaining against opposition out of the promotion race. What’s more, some observers believe another season in Division 1B would serve Waterford better as their young panel matures.
