Gearoid Hegarty insists Limerick won’t be taking Waterford for granted in Sunday’s Munster SHC opener at FBD Semple Stadium.

The Treaty County are strong favourites to complete a four-in-a-row of All-Ireland successes this year, but Hegarty says he would never underestimate a team managed by Davy Fitzgerald.

“Davy probably gets a little bit of flak, maybe from the general public, but I have great respect for him,” the former Hurler of the Year told gaa.ie at a Bord Gáis Energy event in Croke Park yesterday.

“If you look at his track record, everywhere he's gone, he's been successful. Everywhere. He's won All-Irelands, won a Leinster title with Wexford. We won't be underestimating them anyway. Every single game we've played against Waterford has been a dogfight.”
