A replay in last year’s Limerick-Clare Munster senior hurling final would have given the province’s units a much-needed post-pandemic boost, says outgoing treasurer Dermot “Weeshie” Lynch.

The Annascaul man, who was voted in as Munster PRO at Friday’s convention having completed his term as treasurer, reported the game watched by 45,690 in FBD Semple Stadium returned a gross gate of €1.23 million, just over 25% of the total gate receipts for the competition.
