Waterford forward Patrick Curran admits that he doesn't have time to dwell on their All-Ireland SHC loss as they prepare for the penultimate stage of the under-21 championship.

Curran was introduced as a second half substitute in last Saturday's epic All-Ireland SHC replay which Kilkenny won by two points.

It was a heart-breaking defeat for the Decies and one that will take some time for them to digest, but Curran admitted to the Waterford News & Star that having the under-21 to turn to was a welcome relief as they prepare to face Antrim at Semple Stadium on Saturday.

"We've Antrim next Saturday. It's disappointing but we're back training, working hard and we'll see where that takes us. We'll have to bounce back and give everyone a lift again and hopefully we'll have the same support," said Curran.

Waterford are massive favourites to see off the challenge of Antrim in the semi-final before they face Galway or Dublin in the All-Ireland final.
