Pauric Mahony (Ballygunner) will captain the Waterford Senior Hurlers for 2020 with Conor Prunty (Abbeyside) as Vice-Captain.

Conor Prunty had an excellent debut season with dominant displays and will be keen to carry that form into 2020.

The Déise who are under a new manager in Liam Cahill will play their first compettive game in the Munster hurling league on December 29th, with a home tie against Cork in Fraher Field.

Waterford’s league campaign begins on January 26th with Cork visiting Walsh Park for the opening round clash.
