One change to Waterford football team for Tailteann Cup opener

One change to Waterford football team for Tailteann Cup opener

The Waterford Senior Football Team to take on Down in the first round of the Tailteann Cup has been named by manager Ephie Fitzgerald. 

There is just one change to the starting lineup that lost to Tipperary in the Munster football championship, with Aaron Beresford slotting in between the sticks in place of Paudie Hunt. 

The full-back line has been shuffled with Liam Fennell and Conor Ó Cuirrín trading places, while Darragh Ó Cathasaigh remains in situ.

The half-back line remains as it was for the provincial quarter-final, with the midfield unchanged and unaltered.

The half-forward line is also the same as it was for that game with the Premier.

The full-forward line has also been shuffled with Sean Whelan-Barrett the only man to stay where he was last time out.

Throw in at Páirc Esler is at 6 o clock on Saturday evening.
