Waterford boss Derek McGrath has gone with a strong starting 15 for tomorrow's Munster Senior Hurling League clash with Limerick.

Mount Sion's Ian O'Regan starts in goal, while Shane Roche occupies the number three jersey and up front Brian O Halloran (Clashmore Kinsalebeg) and Mikey Kearney (Ballyduff Upper) flank full-forward Shanahan in the corners.
