Waterford welcome deferment, but defend delayed completion of games

WATERFORD County Board yesterday welcomed the Munster Council’s decision to defer the club championship semi-final between Patrickswell and their county champions, who will be decided in a replay on Saturday.

However, the board also defended the lateness of their championship, an issue which had evoked the ire of the Munster Council.

“We are very pleased with the way the Munster council has allowed the Munster semi-final to be put back,” Waterford chairman Paddy Joe Ryan said.
