Speaking to RedFM News, Chairperson of Sarsfield Hurling Club, Keith Mulcahy says everything needs to be replaced:
"The pitch is the main one obviously, the drainage, the lighting, also our gym area, our spinning room, they were all wiped out, we're at the stage where we have to start the work, the astro work has started, but it's an awful lot of money anyway, it's well over €1m."
