WITH A LEAGUE quarter-final already assured, Waterford have opted to give squad players the chance to impress in Sunday’s Division 1A tie against Galway.

Manager Derek McGrath has made ten changes from last Sunday’s loss to Dublin with only Austin Gleeson, Tadhg De Búrca, Kevin Moran, Tom Devine and Shane Bennett retained from that game.

There are starting league debuts for Conor Gleeson, Shane Roche and Colm Roche. Ian O’Regan gets the nod in goal while Conor Gleeson – who featured for the Waterford U21 footballers this week – Shane McNulty, Shane Roche and Gavin O’Brien come into the defence.

There’s a new midfield partnership in Shane O’Sullivan and Maurice Shanahan. In attack Brian O’Halloran, Colm Roche and Tommy Ryan are handed starting spots.
