Waterford hurlers will have no Munster SHC home games this year due to Walsh Park redevelopments

THE WATERFORD HURLERS WILL HAVE NO Munster SHC home games due to redevelopment works at Walsh Park this year. 

The Munster country were due to play Limerick and Clare at Walsh Park in the Munster SHC in April and May, but their games will now be played in neutral venues this year

The Allianz League games against Dublin and Kilkenny could yet be played in Fraher Field in Dungarvan, where the footballers play most of their games.

The local club championships in July are the time period it's expected to open back up again.

A statement from the Waterford GAA read: "Phase 1 Redevelopment of Walsh Park has commenced. Following extensive discussions with the contractors and in order to meet the strict requirements of the six-month work programme, Walsh Park will not be available to host the scheduled inter-county games.

"Waterford GAA are currently in negotiations with Croke Park and the Munster Council regarding alternative venues for the Allianz Hurling League and Munster Championship games and the details will be advised in due course.

"It is the intention that Walsh Park will be available to host Waterford GAA Club Championship games from July."
