Three-time All Star Jamie Barron is set to make his first start of 2024 for Waterford in Sunday's South East derby against Wexford.
The Fourmilewater man came on as sub against Cork two weeks ago and chipped in with a late point. The joint captain missed the first two rounds of the league with a hip injury.
Déise boss Davy Fitzgerald has made five changes as Jack Fagan, Kieran Bennett, Peter Hogan and Michael Kiely are also back in the starting fifteen. Ballygunner pair Dessie Hutchinson and Patrick Fitzgerald are named among the subs.
