Gary Hurney has recovered from a knee injury to take his place at full forward on the Waterford team to face Kerry in Saturday's Munster SFC semi-final at Fitzgerald Stadium.

The former dual star is rated as one of the top players in Munster and his return to fitness is a huge boost to manager Niall Carew, whose first championship selection doesn't include Liam O Lonain, who misses out with a quad muscle injury.

Tommy Prendergast has been named at midfield, despite having a fractured finger, while Shane Aherne has shaken off an ankle problem to take his place on the '40.

Ronan Cahill, David Hallahan and Gavin Nugent are unavailable due to emigration.

Waterford (SF v Kerry): S Enright; T O hUallachain, N Walsh, M O'Gorman; C Phelan, S Briggs, J Hurney; M O'Gorman, T Prendergast; T Grey, S Aherne, A Doyle; P Whyte, G Hurney, R Aherne. Tweet
