Waterford manager Paraic Fanning is keen for his side to hit the ground running and build some momentum going forward.

Fanning believes that the Munster League is the ideal place to start their winning streak, even though he will be using it to run the rule over some fringe players.

“As a new management team, we’re going to be looking at the lads and working out fellas strengths and weaknesses,” Fanning told the Waterford News & Star.

“Even looking at how they approach individual games. That all gives you a better insight into how they deal with competitive matches.

“In that sense, it comes at a good time of the year as well because it leads you into the national league, you’re getting two games and possibly a final, that works out well also.”

He added: “You can’t underestimate the momentum you get from winning. As for the panel, Tom Devine is probably not available next year given his pursuit of a medical career, but we’d be hopeful down the line he might become available again.”
