It's the third successive weekend the footballers are in action, and captain Conor Murray says this is where the hard training will come into play; "We've a chance this weekend to turn things before the break, this weekend really is massive and hopefully we can start turning things around".

Brian Lynch, the Waterford forward is hoping for a big home support this evening; "It'd be great, with the hurlers not playing the weekend hopefully we can get a bit of support, where else would you want to be".

Throw-in is at 7pm, and we'll have updates here on WLR.
