UL boss: Experience should help against Kerry

Despite the cold snap playing havoc with the preparations of teams throughout the country, UL hurling manager Ger Cunningham is hopeful that his side will be in good shape for their Waterford Crystal Cup preliminary round clash with Kerry in Tralee on Sunday (throw-in 2pm).

UL, last year's beaten Fitzgibbon Cup finalists, are boosted by the presence of a number of inter-county players and Cunningham feels that their experience will come to the fore this weekend, regardless of the poor weather.
