Waterford hurlers will be hoping to maintain their fine start to life in Division 1(B) of the Allianz National League as South-East neighbours Carlow visit Fraher Field this evening.
Waterford recorded huge wins over Offaly and Laois in the opening two rounds, scoring 6-50 in the process.
Colm Bonnar's Carlow are expected to come with a big challenge this evening, following their impressive draw with Galway last time out.
Austin Gleeson, Jamie Barron and Colin Dunford get their first starts of the campaign while Michael Walsh and Shane Bennett are also back in the Deise line-up.
