While fully acknowledging it’s been a far from normal week off the pitch at the RSC, Waterford captain Brian Murphy says all he and his teammates can do tonight is bring it to a positive conclusion with victory on the field to extend Blues’ current tenure in the Premier Division (v UCD, Richmond Park, 7.45)
