Waterford’s hurlers are hoping to defy the critics again this Sunday when they take on the might of Leinster champions Kilkenny in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling semi-final at Croke Park.

But Waterford’s Shane Walsh believes his team go into Sunday’s semi-final with renewed vigour after their tremendous quarter-final victory over Galway.
