Conor Ryan and Gavin Fives will make their first starts for the Déise hurlers in tomorrow's Allianz NHL Round 3 clash against Antrim in Fraher Field.
Both start in the Waterford defence in a team that shows seven changes from the side that defeated Laois by twelve points two weeks ago.
Waterford are unbeaten going into the game with one win and a draw against Dublin on the opening day. Last season in Belfast, Waterford edged out Antrim in a tough battle.
Davy Fitzgerald is without a number of key players due to injuries and also Michael Kiely who misses the game through suspension.
The Saffrons come to Dungarvan seeking their first win of the campaign following back to back defeats against Kilkenny and Dublin.
WATERFORD team lines out as follows;
- Shaun O’Brien – De La Salle
- Conor Gleeson - FourMileWater
- Conor Prunty - Abbeyside
- Conor Ryan – Roanmore
- Gavin Fives - Cappoquin
- Calum Lyons – Ballyduff Lower
- Shane McNulty – De La Salle
