Dubs ‘totally disgusted’ at Semple away day

The Dublin hurling camp is “totally disgusted” at being forced to play Tipperary in their own backyard this Saturday.

Dublin County Board officials claim to have been informed by Croke Park prior to yesterday morning’s second round hurling qualifier draw that both games would be played at neutral venues, only to be notified later in the afternoon that their clash with Tipperary was being staged at Semple Stadium as a curtain-raiser to the meeting of Kilkenny and Waterford.

No county has received home advantage in the final round of hurling qualifiers since Antrim traveled to Croke Park for their meeting with Dublin in 2010.
