Waterford star Stephen Bennett has launched a staunch defence of the split season and insists that the onus is on the Déise to make sure that their county campaign extends into June.
His county boss Peter Queally was one of many to voice dismay over Waterford – as well as the likes of Clare, Wexford and Offaly – being out of the championship before the end of May but Bennett has “no issue with it”.
