The Waterford senior hurlers continued their preparations for next month’s National League by staging an internal game at the Carriganore complex on Sunday afternoon.
Michael Ryan and his management team took the opportunity to run the rule over a total of 37 players during the game. One side wore the traditional Waterford colours with the other selection sporting Lismore jerseys. Referee Pat Moore adopted a lenient approach on the whistle which allowed a high scoring game to develop. The team in the Lismore shirts containing the experience of Liam Lawlor, Shane O’Sullivan, Stephen Molumphy and Michael Walsh emerged as comfortable victors on the day. Walsh revelled in his new position of centre forward and enjoyed a productive first half with his marker Kevin Moran improving after the break. In attack Shane Casey and Paudie Nevin made their presence count as both racked up hefty totals of 1-5. Martin O’Neill also fired over four second half efforts. On the Waterford fifteen, Maurice Shanahan contributed six points while Shane Walsh netted two first half goals.
The management team also gave run outs to a number of newcomers on the panel including Jamie Barron, Seamus Lawlor, Gavin O’Brien, Owen Connors, Stephen Daniels, Dean Twomey and Chris Ryan. Last year’s county minor O’Brien clipped over three points on his introduction after the change of ends. The four goalkeepers currently on the extended panel; Adrian Power, Stephen O’Keeffe, Ian O’Regan and John Coady all received thirty minutes of action. Veteran Tony Browne also saw game time at centre back in the second period.
