Davy Fitzgerald has named his Waterford team to face Dublin in the National Hurling League opener in Fraher Field tomorrow (Sunday, February 5th).

It's an experienced side with the likes of Jamie Barron (Fourmilewater) at wing forward, Conor Prunty (Abbeyside) at full-back, and Stephen Bennett (Ballysaggart) at full-forward, leading the attack.

Bennett and Prunty are also joint captains this year - a year that will mark the Ballysaggart ace's 10th season playing senior hurling for Waterford.

The Déise begin the defence of their League title against Mícheál Donoghue's Dublin in a game that throws in at 2.3opm in Fraher Field tomorrow.
