Waterford forward Shane Bennett is facing a race to be fit for the county’s All-Ireland SHC first round qualifier on July 17/18 having picked up a hamstring injury.

The Ballysaggart man had impressed in a training session last weekend before suffering the setback, which could rule him out of the Déise’s backdoor game against Leinster SHC opponents.
