All-Ireland champions Ballygunner will have to name 18 players exclusive to their A team as they field two sides in Waterford’s senior hurling championship this year.

Waterford were granted deviation by Central Council last Saturday to cater for two Ballygunner outfits in the same competition after their second side won last year’s premier IHC.
