SUNDAY’S MUNSTER SENIOR hurling final is on course to be a sellout clash with only a limited number of terrace tickets still available.
The novel pairing of Cork and Clare – facing off in a decider for the first time in 18 years – coupled with both counties featuring in the minor final, has sparked huge interest.
The Munster Council have today confirmed that tickets for the Kinnane and Ó Riain Stands are now sold out, along with terrace tickets for the Town End.
A limited number of tickets for the Killinan End terrace are still available via tickets.ie along with Centra and Super Valu outlets.
Whoops!

The match is on course to mark the first sellout for a Munster senior hurling final at Semple Stadium, which has a capacity of 46,414 according to the 2015 GAA Annual Report, since the 2006 clash of Cork and Tipperary.
It will be a marked increase on last year’s meeting of Tipperary and Waterford at the Gaelic Grounds, which attracted 26,508 supporters.
Twelve months previously, there had been an attendance of 43,096 at the Thurles venue for the clash between the Premier and the Deise.
Cork are bidding for a first Munster senior hurling title since 2014 while Clare’s last provincial crown was achieved back in 1998 and they haven’t contested this final since 2008.
The minor hurling final has also swelled interest levels with Cork reaching a first decider in the grade since 2008 and Clare ending a five-year gap since their last minor final appearance.
Throw-in for the minor match on Sunday is 2pm with the senior game at 4pm, live on RTÉ 2.

Met Andy Lee in town earlier, he seemed a lovely guy and wilfully made conversation with me – Joe Punter who could hardly get two words out beside “you’re great and I’m proud of you and your achievements”!!
Class programme! Great guests every week. Finally sum quality on TV
You think? Too much rte ‘banter’ & not enough serious chat for me, the boys were better on the radio.
I still like them, just think it has been dumbed down too much. RTE seem to think the youff can’t concentrate for more then 5 minutes without being entertained.
I agree Shane. It reminds me too much of the really low brow English football program with Helen Chamberlain on Saturday morning.
