Waterford have 2020 vision for Walsh Park

It will be 2020 before the Waterford hurlers play a Munster championship home fixture at Walsh Park.

The proposed €5m facelift of the venue will not be complete in time for the 2019 Munster SHC, meaning Waterford will again play their two home games outside of the county next year.

Officials don’t expect the redevelopment of Waterford GAA’s premier ground, which will increase capacity to 18,500, to be finished until the autumn of 2019, at the earliest.
