Na Piarsaigh chairman O’Connor hits back at Walsh

A TOP Limerick club official last night launched a blistering attack on Munster Council chairman Seán Walsh.

Na Piarsaigh chairman Timmy O’Connor said he was “disappointed at the personal attack on me by Seán Walsh” in Tuesday’s The Irish Examiner in a row over the venue for the province’s senior club hurling championship final.

Walsh was furious Na Piarsaigh refused to toss a coin to decide a venue for their clash with Crusheen of Clare last weekend. The game, which ended in a draw, was then fixed for Semple Stadium with Munster Council claiming the attendance suffered by not playing the game in either Limerick or Ennis. And Walsh is angry Na Piarsaigh again refused to consider a coin toss, so the game again heads to Tipperary on Sunday.
