Waterford will come out fighting, says Derek Lyons

“You can do one of two things when you lose,” says Waterford U21 hurling manager Derek Lyons, “you can go into a corner and hide or come out fighting.”

Seven members of the Waterford U21 hurling team to face Clare in this evening’s Munster semi-final featured in Sunday’s senior final loss to Tipperary — four started (Austin Gleeson, Stephen Bennett, Tadhg De Búrca and Colin Dunford), the remaining three (Patrick Curran, Shane Bennett and Tom Devine) sprung from the bench.

And while Lyons accepts they haven’t been afforded a massive amount of time by the way of recovery, he expects every one of them to come out fighting at Cusack Park.
