Déise halt training as board puts clubs first

The Waterford County Board have taken the extraordinary decision to cancel all of the senior hurlers’ training until after the May Bank Holiday weekend.

A source close to the board informed the Irish Examiner the county executive made the bold call on Monday night in order to switch focus to the club championships.

The hurlers have been told they can recommence training on Tuesday, May 6, just 19 days prior to their Munster quarter-final against Cork in Thurles.
