GAA: U21 final switched to Thurles

The U21 All-Ireland hurling final has been transferred from Nowlan Park, Kilkenny to Semple Stadium, Thurles on September 16.

Both sides had objected to staging the game at Nowlan Park as it was feared the venue would not hold the thousands of people expected to attend the game.

Limerick and Wexford hurling are currently going through rebirths, on the back of the successes of the senior teams in the championship this year.
