Waterford confirmed for live Sky Sports appearance in 2019

The Waterford hurlers have been confirmed for the live Sky Sports appearance this summer as the UK broadcaster announced its live GAA Championships schedule.

After an encouraging league campaign, hopes are high for the Déise to put last year's disappointing Munster championship behind them in the 2019 edition.

Sky Sports have confirmed that the Waterford v Cork clash in the Munster championship round-robin phase will be screened live on June 8.

The first live game in their schedule features Kilkenny and Dublin in the Leinster championship on May 11.
