It was a sight that no doubt worried many Deise fans. Noel Connors on crutches after the Dublin victory at the weekend was something that raised many questions about whether the teak tough defender would be able to be involved in one of the biggest days out for the Deise since their 2008 All Ireland Final appearance. That was a day when everything went wrong for Waterford and this time round they will need everything to be spot on when they are facing the cats.
Good news for Port Lairge supporters. It looks like Noel will be grand for the fixture. The All star Passage defender has been taking a dip in the sea coupled with cryotherapy to speed up his recovery from that dead leg. He's also been spilling the beans on some of his team mates!
