Flood of fans to light up Croker for replay

GAA chiefs are gleefully rubbing their hands in anticipation of a fourth 80,000-plus Croke Park September sell-out for today’s All-Ireland hurling final replay.

Cork departed by road for the capital last night, backed by more than 30,000 Rebel supporters — but they’ll do well to outdo the Clare shout this evening in Dublin, with the Banner backing expected to be even greater.

The GAA has confirmed the game is a sell-out and like last year it’s likely the 82,000 barrier will be broken by the replay.
