Replay proceeds ‘will go back to the grassroots’

ANOTHER DRAW — another smiling bank manager.

The GAA’s Munster Council may not reap the financial bonanza their Leinster counterparts are anticipating from the sequel to Dublin and Meath, but yesterday’s hurling semi-final draw between Tipperary and Limerick will provide its own southern comfort.

An attendance of 26,246 were present in Limerick yesterday and Munster chiefs hope to have a similar crowd for the replay at Semple Stadium next Saturday at 7pm.
