Cork take on Waterford in the Munster Hurling Championship this weekend. Here's everything you need to know about Cork v Waterford
Cork and Waterford was a cagey affair last time around with Cork claiming a two-point win over 'Na Déise', in the Allianz Hurling League Division 1, and there is no doubt that Sunday's game will be any less of a thriller.
Having finished the league strong with a 3-21 to 1-15 win over Wexford, Cork will have been working hard in the five week build up to their first championship game to improve their recent run of form.
Waterford, on the other hand, will have been disappointed with their league campaign with only one win in five league games. Despite marginal losses to Cork, Kilkenny and Wexford a strong performance leaves much to be desired from Waterford as we head into the championship.

Team News
Waterford name a strong team to face Cork in round one. On paper some might say Waterford have the stronger team but due to recent form Sunday's game will be difficult to predict.
