Clubs paying price of county success

THE ever-increasing demands at county level are doing irreparable damage to club structures, according to the secretary of the West Waterford Board, Anthony Walsh.

In his report to tomorrow night's convention in Dungarvan, Mr Walsh salutes the success of the county side in winning the Munster SHC title. But he also sounds a word of caution.

"There is understandable satisfaction when a player is selected to represent the county in whatever grade, but his duty to his club must not be diminished as a result," says Mr Walsh.
