James Nagle will make his first championship start for Waterford in Saturday's All-Ireland hurling qualifier against Offaly at Thurles. The UCC student, who made a big impression following his introduction against Antrim in the last round, will partner Michael 'Brick' Walsh at midfield with Dave Bennett making way. Seamus Prendergast returns at wing forward after missing the Antrim game through injury to the exclusion of All-Star Stephen Molumphy. In a positional change, Dan Shanahan switches from full forward to wing forward with Eoin Kelly going in the opposite direction, while Ken McGrath continues at full back where he will have the task of marking the in-form Joe Bergin. Waterford (SH v Offaly): C Hennessy; E Murphy, K McGrath, D Prendergast; S O'Sullivan, T Browne, J Kennedy; M Walsh, J Nagle; D Shanahan, G Hurney, S Prendergast; E McGrath, E Kelly, J Mullane.
