John Kiely on Gaelic Grounds: 'It's not anybody's fault, it's just been unfortunate'

LIMERICK MAY HAVE been forced to relinquish home advantage for the third time in this season’s hurling league, but manager John Kiely insists no one is to blame for the issues that have impacted the Gaelic Grounds pitch.

On Friday, it was announced that Limerick would instead travel to Pearse Stadium in Salthill next weekend to face Galway, conceding home advantage to their opponents and agreeing to a fixture change to Saturday afternoon. “That’s the area that has been reseeded. Nicky Greene and his team are working extremely hard to get the place back to tip-top shape. The county board are giving all the resources that they can to make sure that that happens. It’s making progress, but it just needs time as well.

“ very grateful for the supporters that travelled here tonight, travelled to Semple Stadium for the Antrim game and we’re asking them to come to Galway again next week. They’ve been fantastic for so long with us now. The players never fail to respond for them either. The players do appreciate the support and need the support. We’d love to be at home but it’s just not possible.”
