Liam Cahill has handed championship debuts to Jack Fagan and Dessie Hutchinson in the Waterford attack for Saturday’s Munster semi final against Cork at Semple Stadium.

Meath native Fagan impressed in the league with goals against Westmeath and Limerick. Hutchinson lit up the club championship for Ballygunner with 6-23 from five starts.

Captain Pauric Mahony is ruled out for the season with a cruciate knee ligament injury while Conor Gleeson (hamstring), Darragh Fives (ankle) and Iarlaith Daly (ankle) will also miss the Cork clash.

Abbeyside defender Conor Prunty will skipper the side from full back.
