Wexford defender Matthew O'Hanlon says Waterford will present a huge challenge to them in Sunday's All-Ireland SHC quarter-final.

The Slayneysiders are bidding for two shocks on the bounce against the Deise men at Semple Stadium, after having ousted Cork from the championship earlier this month, and O'Hanlon says that they are fully aware of the task ahead of them in Thurles.

"We're not getting ahead of ourselves," he told the Irish Independent. "Waterford will present a big challenge. We beat them in the 2014 championship but they're a very different team now. Derek (McGrath) has done a great job with them.

"They're the top two or three teams in Ireland at this moment in time. One bad performance in the Munster final doesn't make you a bad team overnight and they'll be looking to redeem themselves against us, big-time.

"Look, we're quietly confident, full of belief, we'll be giving it our all and who knows what will happen. There's never been too much between us."
