The Waterford footballers will be hoping to get their Division 4 National legaue campaign back on track when they face Limerick on Sunday afternoon.
Waterford suffered a narrow one point defeat at home to Wicklow last weekend in a game they should have something out of.
A late free from Wicklow keeper Mark Jackson handed them the two points, while Limerick made the trip across the water to London a succesful one with a one point win.
Déise boss Benji Whelan was pleased with the attitude of his players, especially those making their debut last weekend.
Benji says he has full confidence in the squad on getting a result on Sunday.
Waterford Captain Brian Looby admits that their first round defeat was hard to swallow.
Throw-in in Rathkeale is at 2pm.

Meanwhile, The WIT hurlers exited the Fitzgibbon Cup last night. Fintan O'Connor's charges lost to CIT by fifteen points to nine.
Abbeyside's Conor Prunty got on the scoresheet for the Cork side who advanced to the quarter finals.
UCD beat last year's Fitzgibbon Cup winners U-L tonight, but still weren't able to secure a place in the quarter finals.
They miss out on points difference to N-U-I Galway, despite a 3-8 to 15-point victory.
N-U-I-G will be away to L-I-T next week.
UCC's 1-19 to 15-point win over NUIG earlier secured them a home quarter final with I-T Carlow, who themselves were 3-16 to 1-7 winners over Garda College.
And D-I-T's 4-11 to 1-9 win over Maynooth University sets up a quarter final at DCU.
Quarter final draw reads as follows:
LIT v NUIG
Mary I v CIT
DCU v DIT
UCC v IT Carlow
