Playing career
Waterford
Power first played for Waterford at minor level during the 2017 Munster Minor Championship, lining out in three successive defeats but ending the short-lived campaign as top scorer with 0–15.[2][3][4] After one season in the minor grade, Power was drafted onto the Waterford under-20 team for the 2019 Munster Under-20 Championship. His sole season in the grade ended with a 3–23 to 0-10 first-round defeat by Tipperary.[5]
Power was added to the Waterford senior hurling team in advance of the 2020 season. He made his first appearance for the team on 29 December 2019 when he lined out at right corner-forward in a 1-17 to 1–13 defeat by Cork in the pre-season Munster League.[6] Power was retained on the training panel for the subsequent National League and made his first appearance in the 3–18 to 1–15 defeat of Westmeath in the second round.[7] He made his championship debut on 31 October 2020 when he was introduced as a 55th-minute substitute for Kieran Bennett in a 1–28 to 1–24 defeat of Cork in the Munster semi-final.[8]
