Paul Shankey has named the Waterford team for their first game of this year's Allianz Football League against Carlow on Saturday in Fraher Field, Dungarvan (throw in 6pm).
Waterford were due to begin their Division 4 campaign last weekend in Aughrim against Wicklow but that game was postponed due to the inclement weather.
Shankey did actually name a team for that game before the bad weather hit and the team for Saturday's game shows a couple of changes, most notably in goal where Paudie Hunt replaces Aaron Beresford. In attack, Billy Hynes replace Ciaran Looney, who is not in the matchday squad.
Conor Murray captains the team from the centre half forward position.
