The Waterford management team have kept faith with the same starting fifteen that overcame Clare for tomorrow evening's Munster U-20 Football Championship Semi-Final away to Cork.

The Déise delivered an impressive team display last Tuesday as they overcame Clare by 1-10 to 1-9 in Fraher Field.

Joint captains Sean Whelan-Barrett and Stephen Curry will lead the side in the half forward line, with Darragh Corcoran set to be a key player after his man of the match display last week.

Billy Power is one of eight dual players who'll be lining out tomorrow night, and the Rathgormack clubman was relieved to get the extra day foollowing Tuesday's hurling clash with Tipp

Billy admitted it has been a busy few weeks juggling both codes, but that they are proud to do it; "the bodies would be sore but at the end of the day it's our decision to play both, and we know that it's demanding but we want to do it".

Waterford manager Gavin Whelan says it will be an extremely tough challenge against formidable opposition.

Throw-in is at 7pm and Tomás McCarthy will have updates across the evening on WLR.
