Walsh: We should have cut club final ticket prices earlier

IT has been a trying week for Munster Council chairman Seán Walsh.

On Monday he was defending the choice of Semple Stadium as the venue for Sunday’s provincial club senior hurling final (and tomorrow’s replay), explaining it was a decision forced on them by Na Piarsaigh’s refusal to toss to decide home or away advantage against Crusheen. Yesterday it was ticket pricing.

In response to widespread criticism it was announced that prices for tomorrow’s replay and for the club senior football final between Dr Crokes and UCC in Killarney, have both been reduced by €5.
