Davy makes two changes for Déise

Davy Fitzgerald has made two changes to his side ahead of Sunday’s semi-final meeting against Kilkenny at Croke Park.

Both changes come in attack, with Shane Walsh and Eoin McGrath coming into the starting line-up. Walsh in the half-forward line in place of Jamie Nagle, while McGrath is a direct replacement for Shane Casey in the left corner.

It also means that there is no starting place for 2007 'Hurler of the Year' Dan Shanahan, despite the 32-year old Lismore clubman making a major impact in his late introduction in the Galway win.

Waterford (SH v Kilkenny): C Hennessy; E Murphy, A Kearney, N Connors; T Browne, M Walsh, D Prendergast; K Moran, S O’Sullivan; S Prendergast, S Molumphy, S Walsh; J Mullane, E Kelly, E McGrath.
