Hurling final a ‘sellout’ as Croker pledges pitch improvements

SUNDAY’S All-Ireland hurling final will be a sellout according to Croke Park ticket chiefs.

The nation’s economic woes has done little to dampen the demand for the clash of Tipperary and four-in-a-row chasing Kilkenny, the GAA Ticketing Manager Ronan Murphy confirmed last night

He said: “Sunday’s All-Ireland final is a sell out. In fact both Tipperary and Kilkenny have been back to us looking for more tickets. There is an ancient rivalry between Tipperary and Kilkenny and the fact that Kilkenny are going for the four in a row also adds to the interest.”
