MIDFIELD

JAMIE BARRON and Kevin Moran have really led the Waterford evolution rather than revolution. They have added an attacking range to the team’s defensive system, combining for a massive 4-20 – Barron has 3-8 with Moran hitting 1-12.

That’s incredible shooting. It shows how they are being used.

Johnny Coen and David

Burke have an outstanding partnership as well for Galway.

Coen’s engine will be needed to keep pace with Barron and the four individual performances here will have a massive bearing. Whichever duo can put four or five points on the board will be crucial, though it won’t be a surprise if they all get on the scoreboard.
