Ken McGrath: Waterford good enough to go man on man

Waterford icon Ken McGrath says the Déise have reason to be confident, based on last week’s draw against Tipperary, but he describes playing away from home as a “massive disadvantage”.

McGrath was enthused by Waterford’s formation against Tipperary last weekend.

“For 50, 55 minutes of that game, you’d be delighted. They played with six forwards up and that keeps defenders on their toes. The other thing is that five of those forwards played on the U21 All-Ireland team a couple of years ago, so they know each others’ moves.
