Waterford win costs Limerick €80,000

WATERFORD’S superb victory over Clare in Sunday’s Munster SHC has cost the Limerick County Board close on €80,000.

Limerick secretary Jimmy Hartigan, who complimented Waterford on their win, said it had proven extremely costly for his county board.

“Had Clare won we would have hosted the semi-final against Tipperary and that would have been worth around €80,000 to us in ground rent. It’s money we cannot afford to lose.”
