The Waterford hurlers have been dealt a major blow ahead of the championship with the news that Pauric Mahony will miss the season through injury.

The Ballygunner sharpshooter is recovering from a knee injury, and will not be available for selection.

Liam Cahill will have to plan without the Déise's free-taker, ahead of their Munster Championship semi-final meeting with Cork, which will be live and exclusive on Sky Sports Mix.

The 28-year-old had been central to Cahill's plans, as he was selected as the county's captain for the 2020 season.

Mahony was the championship top scorer in 2017, when the Suir-siders reached All-Ireland final.

He had been coming into the season in fine form, helping Ballygunner to another county title by scoring 0-8 in the final win over Passage.
