Football fans seek to score tickets for final

THE battle for All-Ireland final tickets will probably go on right up to tomorrow’s throw-in but almost every football fan from Kerry and Mayo will be making their way to Dublin for the big match.

Almost 15,000 people will travel by train from the two counties, thanks to a number of extra services laid on by Irish Rail. However, no alcohol will be served or allowed on board the trains tomorrow.

The bookies would lead us to believe it will be the legions from the Kingdom who will be looking forward to the return of Sam Maguire to Tralee on Monday evening.
