Walsh focuses on the final picture after eye scare

Munster GAA chiefs will not be bringing in extra security for this weekend’s hurling final, but have called on fans to stay off the field at the end of the game.

The move comes after Limerick’s Stephen Walsh was almost ruled out of the clash with Cork after he received an eye injury during the pitch invasion following the semi-final win over Tipperary. Without being able to draft in greater resources, however, the Munster Council are keen for fans to obey safety messages.

“There won’t be any more of a security presence than usual,” said Munster PRO Ed Donnelly.
