Walsh Park may be ready for 2019 Munster duels

Walsh Park could host Waterford’s two home fixtures in the 2019 Munster senior hurling championship.

At Thursday’s Munster Council meeting, Walsh Park was not ruled out as a potential venue for the county’s home games against Clare and Limerick on May 12 and June 2. Waterford chairman Paddy Joe Ryan has been adamant in recent weeks that the county would not again forfeit home advantage, repeatedly citing the decision to play the Kildare-Mayo football qualifier at Newbridge, a venue which has a similar capacity to Walsh Park (8,000 approx).
