Munster Council ponder pitch options

MUNSTER COUNCIL officials are set to wait until GAA chiefs issue new specifications in relation to 3G pitches before deciding whether to develop the all-weather facilities in the province.

Adverse weather conditions have caused havoc with the council’s efforts to run off club and inter-county fixtures over the past two months.

Chairman Sean Walsh admits that the development of 3G pitches, similar to the new facility in Cavan’s Kingspan Breffni Park, could provide a solution but has warned that they need to adhere to the guidelines that will be laid down by the association at national level.
