Flynn a non-starter for Waterford

Waterford captain Paul Flynn has failed in his bid to be fit to start Sunday's All-Ireland SHC quarter-final against Tipperary (Croke Park, throw-in 4pm).

The Ballygunner forward will not be risked by manager Justin McCarthy, although he is rated fit enough for a substitute's role. Flynn, 31, is suffering from a thigh muscle injury, which will require surgery at the end of the Déise's championship run.
