The Offaly County Board have explained why they chose not to issue tickets via their clubs for Saturday’s sold-out All-Ireland U20 hurling final in UPMC Nowlan Park.

Their opponents Tipperary opted to do so but based on advice from Croke Park, Offaly informed supporters to purchase tickets for the game via the Ticketmaster website.
