– Congratulations to our prize winner, Lonan McDowell. Enjoy the game on Sunday!
WHEN TWO TRIBES go to war… trying to get a ticket is Mission: Impossible.
This year’s All-Ireland football final pairing could hardly have been scripted better: Dublin, chasing a historic five-in-a-row, up against their dearest rivals and the team with more incentive than anyone else to stop them, Kerry.
Sky blue and navy versus green and gold — the countdown to 1 September is on.
And so we’re delighted to announce that our September prize draw, exclusive to The42 Members, will send one lucky winner to Croke Park on All-Ireland final day.
Along with a pair of tickets to the latest unmissable chapter in the Dublin v Kerry rivalry, the winner will also be treated to an overnight stay for two that night in the four-star Brooks Hotel in Dublin, with a meal in the Jasmine bar, and a full Irish breakfast the following morning.
If you have already joined up as a member, you don’t need to do anything. You’ll be automatically entered into this draw and we’ll contact the winner with the good news on Thursday, 29 August.
If you haven’t joined up as a member yet, don’t worry, there’s still time — join up before noon on 29 August and we’ll make sure your name is in the hat too.

I suppose the small attendance isn’t a talking point.
@Kevin McSavage: ah go on out of that you begrudging Gulpin
@Kevin McSavage: go away our of dat
@Kevin McSavage: not small from a limerick point of view. Kilkenny didn’t travel. Limerick always bring the crowd
@Peter: not true Peter. We have had more down than most through the years but always brought the crowds
@Peter: no they don’t. Not until all Ireland final day.
@Daithi O’ Shanahan: 8 thousand more than the Clare wexford game
As a rub a dub dub.. it does the heart good to watch the beautiful game played with such passion…hurling abu
Cork are in fear of us!
@Go way ba willu: kilkenny threw that game away hitting really uncharacteristic wides and then reverting to lumping high ball into a 2 man full forward line. On the basis of today cork have absolutely nothing to fear limerick will do their usual rabbit in the headlights impression once they see croke park
@domas1507: you could argue limerick nearly threw it away missing so many goal chances. Anyway, should be a cracker. Both teams play a great style of hurling. May the best team win and please God let that be limerick
@domas1507: but that’s always been Kilkenny game plan,long ball to henry or fennelly etc, nothing changed there. Except today it was stopped a bit more that usual, targeted Limerick back line but limited success due to good defending and their forward line being poor at times, think Cork have more sense than yourself tbh,they won’t fear Limerick and vice versa, but they’ll be aware of what they can potentially do! Ignorant to just basically write Limerick off
And now Brian….P.F.O. Good man
Strange to see all Leinster teams eliminated by early July, that hasn’t happened for a long time.
Cork game 50/50. This team is seriously tough
I have fancied Limerick to reach the final since the start of the season. Now I’m not so sure. Kilkennys were knackered after the two Galway matches. Otherwise they would have beaten Limerick right back to the Shannon???
