The manager of the Waterford senior hurling team says it’s really exciting to have Munster Championship action back in Walsh Park this summer.

The Déise commence what’s anticipated to be a cut-throat Provincial campaign next Sunday when Clare visit the Keane’s Road venue for the opening game of the round-robin series.

Waterford scored a comfortable win over the Banner when the sides met in the league Quarter-Final at the same venue in March.

Paraic Fanning says supporters should enjoy the build-up to what’s set to be a huge occasion.

Paraic says it was great to get those extra games in the knock-out stages of the League campaign reaching the decider against Limerick.

Paraic says it was positive to get game-time into plenty of players during the league campaign.
