Déise won’t be allowed to play matches in Leinster

Waterford have been refused permission to play their 2020 Munster SHC home games at a Leinster venue, in the event of Walsh Park being unavailable.

The €7m redevelopment of Walsh Park in the city was given the green light by An Bord Pleanála back in February, and it is hoped that work at the Keane’s Road venue will begin in the coming months.
