A general view of the pitch at the TUS Gaelic Grounds

The TUS Gaelic Grounds pitch is to be resurfaced next summer, according to Limerick secretary Mike O’Riordan.

In his annual report, O’Riordan reveals the playing surface will be relaid after the county’s championship games there - in their Munster SHC round robin games, John Kiely’s senior hurlers host Waterford on April 24 and Tipperary on May 15.
