Waterford face Limerick in must-win hurling battle

Waterford face Limerick in must-win hurling battle

The Waterford hurlers return to the Gaelic Grounds for this afternoon's Munster Championship meeting with Limerick.

This will be the first Munster Championship clash between these counties since 2011. After last Sunday's controversial draw with Tipperary this is a must-win encounter for Derek McGrath's charges.

Captain Kevin Moran returns to the team at midfield instead of Michael Kearney, there's also one change for Limerick as Shane Dowling replaces the suspended Aaron Gillane in the full forward line.

Limerick defeated Tipp in the opening round while they drew with Cork last weekend  and victory for the Shannonsiders would seal a place in the top three.
