Waterford get qualifier tie moved to midlands venue

Waterford have succeeded in getting their upcoming qualifier tie with Longford moved to the neutral venue of O'Moore Park, Portlaoise.

Waterford boss Billy Harty and his team were outraged that the game was initially pencilled in to be played at Pearse Park giving Longford home advantage.

They initially threatened to boycott the game but a middle ground was quite literally reached last night with both sides agreeing to travel to Portlaoise on Saturday afternoon.
