Waterford U20 Football team to face Tipperary

The Waterford U20 football team to face Tipperary in the Munster Championship has been named.

Manager Gavin Whelan has made four changes to the side, with two positional switches.

Diarmuid O Mathúína comes into the goal for Conor Moore, Stephen Roche is added to the full-back line in place of Daniel Behan, Shane Power comes into the half-back line for Tommy O'Brien, the midfield sees one change with Sean O'Rourke coming in for David Butler who moves to the full forwards, Mikey O Brien moves from half back into the half-forwards, Sam Pender moves back to the half forwards from the full forward line while Daragh Murphy takes David Butler's place in the full forwards.

A place in the final is no longer on the cards, but a spot in the B Final is still on the horizon.
