An interesting selection in many ways! There is a broad selection of clubs represented. The traditional powerhouse of Waterford hurling, Mount Sion have only one representative on the team while Ballygunner have four. Even at that, the word on the street seems to indicate that David O’Sullivan was very unlucky to lose out to the ageless Tony Browne for the number five jersey. The big talking point will be the omission of Eoin Kelly but his form when played during the league and in the club championships would indicate that he just did not have enough done. He is a very useful sub to bring on, and it is a long year yet.

There is no shortage of scoring forwards there either, and we can expect Shane O’Sullivan to switch with Stephen Molumphy either before the ball is thrown in or at some stage of the game.
