The 'Brick' ready to take on Tipp in NHL decider

Waterford captain Michael 'Brick' Walsh is confident that his side can recover from last Sunday's last-minute defeat to Cork and see off Tipperary to advance to the semi-finals of the Allianz National Hurling League.

The 24-year-old Stradbally native is anticipating a real battle from a Premier side that are unbeaten in the 2008 league campaign. Nevertheless Waterford are the reigning Division 1 champions and intend to maintain the progress achieved last year.

Speaking ahead of Sundays clash, the man nicknamed 'The Brick' thinks the team with the best panel of players will come out on top.
