Paudie Fitzgerald believes the world will be Waterford’s oyster if they emerge from the Munster senior hurling championship this year.

The Kilrossanty man could miss part of the championship after undergoing a shoulder operation which will keep him sidelined for four months. He incurred the injury in the closing stages of his club's Munster intermediate final defeat to Kilbrittain in late November.
