Tipperary v Waterford Minor Hurling Clashes in Thurles

In ten previous attempts, the Waterford minor hurlers have only managed two wins over Tipperary in Thurles (1948 and 2009). Three years ago, the Premier County prevailed by 19 points as William Maher guided them to All Ireland glory. Waterford start with eight of last year’s squad (Billy Nolan, Conor Prunty, Jordan Henley, Darragh Lyons, Andy Molumby, Eddie Meaney, Peter Hogan and Aaron O’Sullivan) for tonight’s renewal. Sean Lyons’ side have arranged challenge matches with Wexford, Kilkenny, Galway, Dublin and Laois in the build-up to this quarter final. The visitors are regarded as 10/3 outsiders against a Tipp team that won the Tony Forristal back in 2011.
