Davy Fitzgerald will be without a couple more Waterford hurlers for next year but hopes are high that he will have all three Bennett brothers available in 2024.

Following Austin Gleeson’s decision to step away from the Déise panel, the 2016 Hurler of the Year has been joined in taking some time out by experienced defenders Shane McNulty and Conor Gleeson.
