Hurling fans face scramble for trains

HURLING fans are facing a scramble for train tickets to Dublin for Saturday’s All Ireland semi-final replay between Cork and Wexford.

Irish Rail may not be able to accommodate the same number of Cork fans as it did for last Sunday’s game. Those lucky enough to get precious seats on match specials will be limited to two tickets each, instead of the usual four.

The company said yesterday that because the match is scheduled for Saturday, instead of the usual Sunday, services will be much busier and that won’t allow the company scope to free up special trains.
