Waterford's O'Neill set for surgery

Talented young Waterford forward Martin O'Neill will shortly undergo surgery on the cruciate knee ligament injury he suffered in last weekend's All-Ireland SHC quarter-final loss to Kilkenny.

O'Neill, who made his Championship bow with the Déise last summer, came on for Maurice Shanahan during the Kilkenny game but ruptured his cruciate ligament and lasted only three minutes on the pitch.
