Tickets sold out for Leinster semi-final

Kilkenny and Galway hurling fans have snapped up all available tickets for the counties’ Leinster SHC semi-final replay today.

The Leinster Council confirmed yesterday there would be no tickets available following an impressive run on sales. On Thursday, 13,500 had been sold and with the capacity of O’Connor Park in Tullamore standing at just over 16,500, they had little problem selling the rest yesterday.

Meanwhile, Cork football manager Brian Cuthbert confirmed the three dual players in his squad will be concentrating on football until the Munster SFC final.
