Colm Garde comes into the Cork U20 hurling team for Barry Walsh in the sole change to the starting 15 for Wednesday’s Fulfil Munster Championship clash with Waterford.

With Walsh ruled out due to senior commitments, Lisgoold’s Garde – who came on in the first half of the win over Limerick a fortnight ago – is chosen at midfield alongside James O’Brien.

Beyond a rejigging of jersey numbering to reflect where players have featured in the opening two games, the lineup is the same as a fortnight ago. John Murphy, sent off in the opening defeat away to Tipperary, is named on the bench for the clash at Cappoquin Logistics Fraher Field (7.35pm) while Diarmuid Wall is also added to the substitutes’ list.

Waterford have yet to get off the mark, but both of their outings to date, away to Clare and Tipperary, were single-point defeats.
