Don’t attempt to outmuscle the champions warns Shanahan as Déise look for lift

Former Waterford selector Dan Shanahan says the Déise players must lift a downbeat county against Limerick in Walsh Park tomorrow. Waterford were pipped by Clare in their opening game but were well beaten by Tipperary two weeks ago. So the home joust with the All-Ireland champions is a chance to kickstart their campaign.

“People have been down since the Tipperary game, which isn’t surprising. We didn’t get going at all, and when Conor (Gleeson) got sent off it was always going to be really hard,” Shanahan says.
