It's a situation I hope ourselves and the Munster Football Association can put right in the near future and that will then give us the option of playing our home games either on Sunday afternoons like we have been doing for sometime or changing to Friday night football on occasion. I have no doubt but that we would have seen a lot more League Cup action here if we had lights but that's another day's work.'
