Thurles not Model venue for Devereux

Wexford chairman Diarmuid Devereux claims the decision to stick with Thurles for Sunday’s All-Ireland hurling quarter-finals is further proof the county ‘will never get any help from Croke Park’.

Devereux said Wexford have been forced to grudgingly accept the decision to reject the Model County’s request for a venue change this weekend from Thurles to the more spacious Croke Park.

Wexford made the request on Monday night following an emergency meeting to discuss their official allocation of 2,000 stand tickets for the tie against Limerick.
