“There was an issue over registration between Fox Lodge and Galway so we did not know who our opponents would be until a few days ago,” said Waringstown captain Lee Nelson.

“We don’t know much about them and have been doing some homework on them but in situations like this it is al about how we prepare and play on the day.

“We have been drawn away from home in all of our cup ties so far so it will be nice to have this game in front of our own supporters.

“With the games we have managed to play I am more than pleased with the performances and results.
