The footballers of Waterford face the ultimate test this Sunday when they travel to Cork to take on the All-Ireland champions in their own back yard.

In all honesty, only a fool would place significant money on Waterford winning this game so surely it’s a positive performance as opposed to a positive result which the Deise will be hoping for on Leeside.
