Wexford manager Seamus Murphy has included three league debutants in his side for Sunday's NHL Division 1A trip to Waterford.

Andrew Kavanagh, who has recovered from a groin strain, Ciarán Kenny of Buffers Alley and Oulart-the Ballagh forward Stephen Doyle, who struck 2-07 against Dublin in a Walsh Cup tie last month, will all line up in Dungarvan.

Right corner-back Paul Roche is ruled out with a heel injury and replaced by his Oulart-The Ballagh team-mate Kavanagh while team captain Keith Rossiter returns at full-back in place of Kevin Kavanagh.

Having shaken off a hamstring injury, Declan Ruth comes in for Eoin Sheridan at right half-back while Stephen Nolan makes way at midfield for Darren Stamp, who missed out last week due to a back injury.

Eoin Quigley starts in the forwards, with Mitch Jordan dropping to the bench.

Dessie Mythen (broken finger) and Barry Lambert (dislocated shoulder) are ruled out with a broken finger and dislocated shoulder respectively.

Damien Fitzhenry; Andrew Kavanagh, Keith Rossiter
