Waterford to discuss city, county ground sale

WATERFORD County Board executive is to consider a proposal that the county grounds in Dungarvan and Waterford be sold and a new stadium be built on a greenfield site.

Though the board has county grounds at Walsh Park and Fraher Field, their limited capacities preclude them from hosting the most attractive Munster SHC fixtures.

The Portlaw suggestion has been described as “thought-provoking’ by county board officials and club delegates.
