Waterford Hurling Star Kelly In Fitness Struggle

Waterford star Eoin Kelly is struggling to achieve full fitness ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship semi-final against Limerick.

The Passage clubman got four points in quarter final replay win over Cork at Croke Park, having lined out at midfield.

However, when the game ended, Kelly needed to have ten stitches in a hand wound he had sustained earlier.

Early indications have suggested that Kelly is still expected to line out this weekend for the rematch of the Munster final, which Waterford won by eight points.

Waterford have no other injury concerns following the Cork game.
