The 26 year old was in sensational form on Sunday scoring 1-16 as Waterford laid down another marker with the Championship only weeks away. The Deise county hammered Tipperary at Walsh Park in Waterford. The two stand out teams so far this year have to be Waterford and Cork, Limerick will no doubt be back to their brilliant best come the Championship, but can either Cork or Waterford get close to the treaty county this year?

If Stephen Bennett keeps playing the way he is, they will be very close to it.
