Munster hurling final sees another ticket price hike
Adult tickets for this year's Munster SHC decider between Limerick and Cork at TUS Gaelic Grounds have been priced at €50 for the stand, and €40 for terrace.
This represents a €5 increase on last year's Munster final between Limerick and Clare at Semple Stadium and is in line with the price hike for Munster round robin fixtures in 2025.
It is the second successive €5 increase for Munster hurling final tickets, the 2023 showdown between Limerick and Clare in the Gaelic Grounds costing €40 for stand and €30 for terrace.
Tickets for U16s will cost €10, while the usual €5 concession applies for OAPs and students.
Munster GAA confirmed on Monday that tickets for the final would not go on general sale and would be distributed through the competing county boards.
This reflects the extremely high demand, with the seven-in-a-row chasing Limerick facing off against the league champions, Cork, who scuppered the former's bid for five-in-a-row at All-Ireland level in 2024.
In Leinster, meanwhile, the provincial council has made 20,000 tickets available free to U14s for the 8 June Croke Park double-header of comprising of the Kilkenny-Galway Leinster final and the Kildare-Laois Joe McDonagh decider.
The scheme, announced on Monday, has seen strong take-up so far, with thousands applying. Eligible groups must consist of a minimum of 10 children (U14 or younger), and must be accompanied by at least two supervising adults per group (1 adult per 10 children).
For adults, tickets will be priced at €40 for stand and €30 for Hill 16.
The last Kilkenny-Galway Leinster final in 2023 attracted just 24,483, while the previous year's decider between the same times saw a crowd of 31,000, with the Joe McDonagh final preceding the game on that occasion.

‘I'll play anywhere I'm told to': Adrian Mullen keen to shine in Leinster final after beating injury demons
Adrian Mullen hopped away on crutches after Kilkenny's last championship fixture against Galway , but on Sunday he hopes to be bouncing out of Croke Park with the Bob O'Keeffe Cup safely secured for the sixth consecutive year. It has been another frustrating season for Mullen in terms of injury, but the former All Star did manage to start Kilkenny's last two round-robin matches in the provincial championship. The 26-year-old missed all of the National League because of a groin injury but returned for the first round of the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship in April– a home tie against Galway at Nowlan Park. Mullen even marked his first appearance of the campaign with a neatly taken goal in the opening exchanges. However, after just 17 minutes he was forced off the field with an ankle injury. He later left the ground in a moon boot and also with the aid of crutches. READ MORE The Ballyhale clubman has been working his way back to match sharpness in recent weeks and played most of their final round-robin game against Wexford. Speaking ahead of Sunday's Leinster SHC final against Galway at Croke Park (4pm), he said: 'The body's holding up well for now. 'I suppose at this time of year, you're never really 100 per cent, especially with how tough and heavy training is. But I've kept together in one piece for now and I'm looking forward to Sunday. 'I just picked up an injury during pre-season or early January and that kind of kept me out for most of the league. But I stayed training away, stayed doing a bit of rehab and stuff like that. 'It was just unfortunate at that time, but it's all good now and I'm fit and ready to go.' Kilkenny's Adrian Mullen receives treatment for an injury sustained against Galway in a Leinster SHC match in April. Photograph: Leah Scholes/Inpho Mullen last played a full competitive match for Kilkenny in the league final loss to Clare in April 2024. He has had various injury problems over the years including cruciate, hamstring and hand issues. So, turning on his ankle against Galway in his first start of the year was far from ideal. 'To get back for the Galway game and then to go off injured after 10 minutes or so with a twisted ankle, yeah it was a setback,' he continues. 'But you just have to get on with it and see what you can do to get yourself right for the next game or the next few weeks to follow.' When you're playing at an elite level and you don't come out victorious, there's going to be that level of hurt and disappointment — Adrian Mullen The sight of Mullen wearing the number six jersey against Wexford last time out has generated plenty of intrigue as to Derek Lyng's plans for a player more accustomed to an attacking role. As Kilkenny had already qualified for the Leinster final before that Wexford match, perhaps it was nothing more than a one-off experiment. 'Given the circumstances of the round-robin we were already through, it was probably a game to give lads a bit of game time and get minutes into the legs,' adds Mullen. 'I suppose I'll play anywhere I'm told to play. If you're told to play centre back, you obviously just have to adapt to that. If you're in closer to goal, you have to be a threat up there and stuff like that. 'The way the game has gone, you have to be able to play anywhere. If you're named half-forward, you could end up midfield or even in the half-back line or in the full-forward line. You just have to be versatile.' Kilkenny manager Brian Cody lifts the Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2015, which was the last time Kilkenny were All-Ireland champions. Photograph: James Crombie/Inpho Kilkenny last won the Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2015 and have been beaten in four finals over the last decade – 2016, 2019, 2022, 2023. They lost to eventual champions Clare at the semi-final stages last summer. 'Look, it was definitely disappointing,' recalls Mullen of that defeat to the Banner County. 'But I suppose in games like that, if you don't win, you have to reflect and you have to learn from it. They were the better team on the day. All we can do is learn from it.' He acknowledges that the barren decade has been difficult for black and amber hurling folk. 'Definitely, there has to be that level of hurt,' adds Mullen. 'When you're playing at an elite level and you don't come out victorious, there's going to be that level of hurt and disappointment. 'As I said, you just have to look back on it, you have to reflect on it, you have to learn from it, see what went right, see what went wrong and try to improve.' [ The Schemozzle: Tiered hurling system sending ill-prepared counties round in circles Opens in new window ] [ Munster final tactical analysis: Cork must be sharper with puckouts against Limerick Opens in new window ] As for the All-Ireland race this year, he is not entertaining the argument that it is simply a two-horse gallop between Limerick and Cork. 'Oh, is it?' he says with a smile. 'Obviously, we have our own opinions and our own beliefs. I'd say any player at intercounty level knows that if you're a percentage off on the day, you will be found out. You have to really be at the pitch every day you go out. 'We had a decent round-robin. Before that, the league was up and down. But we've done what we had to do in the round-robin – we won a few games, we've got to the Leinster final. 'You can't ask for much more than that. We're just looking forward to Sunday and trying to put our best foot forward and trying to bring our best game to Croke Park.'

Rugby's loss is hurling's gain as Laois captain David Dooley plots Joe McDonagh Cup triumph
In another version of the story, Laois hurling captain David Dooley could have traded a Joe McDonagh Cup final at Croke Park this Sunday to instead be playing in a United Rugby Championship decider with Leinster at the same venue in two weeks. The 22-year-old versatile midfielder is also a talented rugby player and spent two years with the Leinster Rugby sub-academy where he lined out alongside the likes of Sam Prendergast and Paddy McCarthy. Dooley played with Tullamore Rugby Club and also MU Barnhall, sporting experiences he believes have stood to him on a hurling field. 'There were some really good people involved in all the set-ups I was involved with,' he says. 'So I try to add value, then, from what I learned in the rugby world to the Laois set-up. READ MORE 'Small things, even like the professionalism involved in rugby. I would have been in and around lads who did that as their full-time jobs. 'The way they prepare for training, the way they prepare for games, the things they would have done outside of training is something I've probably tried to take from that mainly. 'The mental preparation, the video analysis, all that sort of thing, it's really big within the rugby circles and I feel it can definitely be added to the GAA community too.' Dooley is still in contact with some of his former rugby teammates and keeps an eye on their progress with club and country. David Dooley during Leinster training in 2022. Photograph: Ben Brady/Inpho 'I would have played with Sam Prendergast and it's great to see him going really well,' says Dooley. 'He's probably the biggest star at the minute but there are plenty of lads who have Irish caps or who will earn Irish caps as well, I'm sure, in the next couple of years, who I would have been playing with. 'I'm still in touch with a lot of them and still friends with a lot of them, so I'm delighted for them all.' When I was away from it, I did miss it a lot — David Dooley Dooley predominately played at inside centre but when the offer of a full-time contract didn't materialise from Leinster, the Rosenallis clubman picked up his hurl again and made his senior Laois debut last year. 'I always dreamed of playing professionally at something, so look, it didn't work out in the end,' he says. 'The fact I had Laois hurling and GAA in general to come back to was absolutely massive for me. It's been absolutely brilliant. When I was away from it, I did miss it a lot. 'I would have still gone to all the Laois hurling matches and even club matches. I was probably still going into [club] trainings just to meet the lads. 'They're the lads you grew up with and lads you grow together with. It was always a dream of mine to play for Laois. My father had played for Laois beforehand and it was something that was probably bred into me from a young age. It was special to come back and be involved again.' [ The Schemozzle: Tiered hurling system sending ill-prepared counties round in circles Opens in new window ] [ Munster final tactical analysis: Cork must be sharper with puckouts against Limerick Opens in new window ] Sunday's Joe McDonagh Cup final against Kildare at Croke Park (1.45pm) is an opportunity for Laois to make amends for the disappointment of last season. The O'Moore County lost the final to Offaly last June. Kildare have become the story of the competition this season though, progressing to Sunday's final just one year after winning the Christy Ring Cup decider. The Lilywhites beat Laois in the group stages of the Joe McDonagh Cup last month, running out 11-point victors in Portlaoise. 'They were very well worth the win, they're a great side,' adds Dooley. 'They're athletic, physical and can all hurl extremely well. We'll definitely have our work cut out this weekend. 'They only came up from the Christy Ring last year, which was huge for them. To put in the performances and be able to hurl as well as they are, it's incredible to see. They're an incredible side.'

Seán Moran: Leinster hurling final and the battle for relevance
There was a picture that prompted much agonising after the 1998 Leinster hurling final. It was of Kilkenny 's corner back and captain, Tom Hickey, trudging across an empty Croke Park pitch, the Bob O'Keeffe Cup dangling from his arm like a bag of groceries. The photograph was widely used to intuit Kilkenny's sense of the underwhelmed despite having just beaten Offaly to win their first provincial title in five years. In the perennial comparison between the provinces, Munster hurling finals always come with the blessings of posterity and tradition, whereas Leinster bear the burdens of pale comparison and, at times, faint praise. Back in 1998, this eternal truth was further endorsed by news that then president of Ireland, Mary McAleese, (currently wrangling the three associations as chairwoman of the integration group), would attend her first GAA match of the year, the following weekend in Thurles for the Clare-Waterford Munster final. It felt as if the bar for her presence had been appropriately raised. READ MORE For context, this was the second year of the new championship structure – in the vernacular, the back door – which notionally rendered the provincial finals less important. That was unlikely to be the reason for Kilkenny's lack of excitement, though. A year previously, when the back door was first put on the latch, Clare regained Munster and triggered Anthony Daly 's famous speech about his county's mission to show 'that we are no longer the whipping boys of Munster' before a capacity crowd in Páirc Uí Chaoimh . Closer to home, the 1997 Leinster finals had attracted record attendances for both the semi-finals and final. Wexford beat Kilkenny a week after the Munster final, encouraging Rod Guiney to deliver a swift homage to Daly by declaring his team to be no longer the whipping boys of Leinster – a curious reflection for the captain of the All-Ireland champions. The contrast between the provincial finals has been heightened in recent years for two reasons: Kilkenny's domination of Leinster; and the big box-office success of the Munster round robin and particularly its finals, although they are not linked into the rest of the championship. At the same time, Limerick have been equally dominant in Munster, but their provincial finals have produced some fascinating matches. Unlike Leinster, where Galway are the only team playing in the province to have won the All-Ireland since 2015, Munster have produced three different champions even during Limerick 's six-year reign in the province. Galway's migration eastwards in 2009 has become routine and, in a way, anti-anticlimacticught in to intensify competition by providing a foil for Kilkenny, they have won three provincial titles in that time, 2012, '17 and '18. Galway's distance from Dublin hasn't helped attendances in recent years, as crowds of only 25,951 and 24,483 turned up to the last two finals to feature Kilkenny and the Connacht county. Yet Galway 's clash with Wexford eight years ago created a new record for a provincial hurling final and broke the 60,000 barrier for the first time. Galway's arrival has not transformed the provincial championship. Photograph: Morgan Treacy/Inpho The missing ingredient is Wexford, whose last two appearances in the final in 2017 and '19 have attracted the century's highest attendances for Leinster hurling's biggest day. For all that Galway's arrival hasn't transformed the provincial championship, it's as well to ask where would it have been without them? They have provided opposition for Kilkenny in nine of the 11 finals they have contested since they crossed the Shannon. The move has certainly added depth to the championship and helped to position Galway to contest three All-Ireland finals, winning one, and seven semi-finals. Another factor in Leinster's labouring box office is that it fulfils a role as a development competition, which features two of six teams every year earmarked for a relegation clash and in general not carrying much jeopardy for the other counties. In six years, the bottom teams have recorded two wins and three draws against established opponents. Since Kilkenny's last success 10 years ago, they have lost four finals. Photograph: Ryan Byrne/Inpho The main drag on the province's status, however, is its lack of All-Ireland relevance. Since Kilkenny's last success 10 years ago, they have lost four finals whereas Galway have won one and lost one. The record unbroken sequence for counties from the same province winning Liam MacCarthy is seven. It was set in the 1940s by Limerick, Cork's four-in-a-row team, Tipperary and Cork coming back for another in 1946. After Kilkenny broke that sequence in 1947, the next seven also went to Munster, from Waterford's first in 1948 and sequential three-in-a-rows for Tipp and Cork. Wexford stopped the run in 1955. This year Munster have again won the last seven, mostly Limerick but with help from Tipperary and Clare, and it looks certain that a new record will be set in July. Kilkenny and Galway will attempt to dispute that and next Sunday, one of them will qualify for the All-Ireland semi-finals. Back in that year of 1998, Offaly created history by becoming the first All-Ireland champions to have lost a match en route to winning the All-Ireland. That alternative approach has rarely been exploited in Leinster. Kilkenny walked that path in 2012, having avenged a provincial final defeat by Galway, but hardly any counties in the province could aspire to a national target if beaten in Leinster. Last year, Clare were just the latest side to avail of a route to the All-Ireland after losing in Munster. They joined Cork (2004), Tipperary (2010) and Limerick (2018). Even after defeat, counties in the south can see the bigger picture. It is fair to suggest that whoever loses next Sunday in Croke Park is unlikely to have a realistically similar view.
