THE VENUES FOR Waterford’s home games in the Allianz Hurling League have been changed due to ongoing redevelopment works at Walsh Park.
Davy Fitzgerald’s side were scheduled to have three home matches in Division 1 Group B but will not be lining out at Walsh Park, the venue they have generally used in recent seasons.
Instead they will travel to UPMC Nowlan Park to take on Kilkenny in the last round on Sunday 19 March.
Their other ties will be held at the Fraher Field in Dungarvan as Waterford play Dublin in the league opener on Sunday 5 February and then take on Antrim on Sunday 26 February.
Waterford’s championship schedule is also set to be impacted for the round-robin Munster senior hurling championship.
Their home fixtures will see them play Limerick on 23 April and Clare on 13 May, with FBD Semple Stadium in Thurles likely to be the venue for both matches.

Isn’t it time that the Ireland Team Manager looks very seriously at JJ Hanrahan as a serious future Ireland Jersey prospect .
He reminds me so much of ROG with the touches and is proving to be a fine tackler.
He has really good accuracy , a fine kicker , has pace and most of all – good imagination and ball placement !
When you say “isn’t it time” how do you know he’s not ?
Not the best of games, no help with the weather, but for the first time Munster went out wide after a few phases of rucking or mauling forward. This helped draw in the opposition defenders, narrow their pack an create space instead of going wide off first phase ball and going lateral. Finally a mixture of forwards creating hards and drawing in defenders for the backs to go wide
I think Penney needs to look at playing Keatley at 10 with JJ at 12, I think his attacking game would thrive with with Keatley doing more of the game controlling and other pressure filled jobs.
