New Waterford senior hurling manager Peter Queally says he's honoured to take up the role.

Queally, who has previously served as a selector to the Deise, was ratified on a two-year-term on Friday.

A former Waterford hurler himself, Queally has previously managed Passage, Roanmore and Abbeyside.

He told WLR of his pride to become the manager of his home county.
