WATERFORD WILL PLAY two of their Munster senior hurling championship games at FBD Semple Stadium in Thurles.
The move had been expected amidst ongoing redevelopment works at Walsh Park and league switches to Fraher Field and Nowlan Park, and Munster GAA confirmed this evening that the Tipperary venue has been approved for the Déise’s championship clashes against Limerick and Clare.
Davy Fitzgerald’s side will face the holders and three-in-a-row All-Ireland champions there on 23 April, before locking horns with the Banner on 13 May.
