Allianz Hurling League Division 1A Relegation Play/Off

Cork v Waterford, Pairc Ui Rinn, 3pm

Having started the campaign with three worrying defeats Waterford’s response offers encouragement.

Derek McGrath’s charges beat Cork and Clare, but still face a tough task down by the banks of the Lee.

Cork hurled well in bursts against TIpperary so ensuring a lively forward line is provided with quality deliveries is key.

CORK: Anthony Nash; Sean O'Donoghue, Eoin Cadogan, Colm Spillane; Christopher Joyce, Tim O'Mahony, Mark Coleman; Darragh Fitzgibbon, Bill Cooper; Michael Cahalane, Conor Lehane, Dean Brosnan; Alan Cadogan, Seamus Harnedy, Patrick Horgan.

WATERFORD: Stephen O'Keeffe; Shane Fives, Barry Coughlan, Noel Connors; Tadhg de Burca, Austin Gleeson, Philip Mahony; Jamie Barron, Conor Gleeson; Kieran Bennett, Pauric Mahony, Tom Devine; Patrick Curran, Stephen Bennett, Mikey Kearney.
