WATERFORD’S MICHAEL ‘BRICK’ Walsh will make history on Sunday when he becomes the holder of the most senior hurling championship appearances, overtaking former Tipperary goalkeeper Brendan Cummins in the all-time list.
Walsh has been named in Waterford’s starting XV for tomorrow’s Munster showdown with Cork at Semple Stadium, as Derek McGrath makes six changes to his side for their final round-robin game.
The Déise have already been eliminated from contention in the provincial championship and the game could be McGrath’s last in charge of Waterford after a difficult summer to date.
After making his senior debut in 2003, Walsh will win a record-breaking 74th championship appearances when he starts at right half-back.
