McGrath targets semi-final return against Limerick

KEN McGRATH is planning on being fit for the Munster semi-final against Limerick on June 22 should Waterford defeat Clare in the opening round this weekend.

The three-time All Star underwent a minor knee operation last Wednesday week and has been told the recovery time is expected to be approximately four weeks. That would be leaving it tight should Waterford get over the challenge of Clare on Sunday.

“I’d hope to be playing the second game (in Munster or the qualifiers a week later), said McGrath. “I suppose Sunday is the big one now. We never get it easy against Clare. It’s up in Limerick as well and we don’t play much up in Limerick.”
