"He leads from the back"

Conor Prunty will captain the Waterford hurlers for 2022.

The Abbeyside defender, who won his first All Star last season, will skipper the team for the third year in a row.

"He had a marvellous year last year," said Déise manager Liam Cahill. "He made the All Star team at full back and that's testament to the man. I've always said that he leads from the back. He's a great leader and a great man in the dressing room."

Three-time All Star Jamie Barron will act as vice-captain. "Another powerhouse in the middle of the field. Two great men, two great leaders, they lead by example both on and off the field."
