McGuane: Council has common-sense approach to venues

The Munster Council has adopted a common-sense approach to venue selection for the Waterford Crystal Cup and other competitions – and they’re reaping the rewards in terms of atmosphere and attendance, say officials.

Munster Council deputy chief executive Enda McGuane says they’re trying to make games more accessible, which is part of the reasoning behind tomorrow’s Waterford Crystal Cup final between Clare and Tipperary being played in Sixmilebridge, rather than Ennis or Semple Stadium.

“It’s been a Munster Council policy we’ve adopted in recent years,” said McGuane.
