Munster Hurling Final ticket update as Limerick and Cork to go at it again
Munster GAA have released a ticket update for the Limerick/Cork provincial hurling decider on Saturday week, and it's not good news for the casual fan. The Gaelic Grounds tie is almost certain to sellout as Cork go into the lion's den again, having been hammered by 16 points by Limerick at the same venue eight days ago. That tie attracted a bumper sellout crowd of 42, 477 for the group stage meeting and the same is expected in 12 days time. It's hard to believe that this is Cork's first Munster Hurling Final appearance in seven years (2018), while this historymaking Limerick side go for the province's first ever seven-in-a-row. Limerick won their recent meeting 3-26 to 1-16 to qualify for the Munster Final. This allowed them to rest key players in their weekend dead rubber defeat by Clare. Cork had to defeat Waterford at Pairc Ui Chaoimh over the weekend to stay alive in the Championship - and they did that on a 2-25 to 1-22 scoreline, despite hitting 17 wides. The Rebels were without injured skipper Robert Downey, while Declan Dalton and Niall O'Leary also missed the game due to injury. They're all in a race against time to prove their fitness for the rematch with John Kiely's all conquering side. Ger Mellerick, Cormac O'Brien and Seamus Harnedy all came into the Cork side at the weekend, showing the depth they have, while Diarmuid Healy impressed off the bench. The winner of the Munster Final will go straight through to the All-Ireland semi-final, with the loser going into the quarter-finals. It's a game that has got fans excited as the hurling world waits to see if a Cork side, which defeated Limerick twice in last year's Championship, can muster a response to their recent mauling. But getting a ticket to see this one could prove tricky. Munster GAA released the following statement: 'Due to the high demand, tickets for the Munster Senior Hurling Final on Saturday June 7 at 6pm in the TUS Gaelic Grounds Limerick will be distributed through the participating County Boards only. 'Season ticket holders from Limerick and Cork will receive their tickets through the normal channels. There will be no public sale of tickets via Ticketmaster, Centra or Supervalu outlets.'

Munster GAA makes big announcement on Sunday's Limerick-Cork clash
Sunday's Limerick-Cork Munster SHC tie at the TUS Gaelic Grounds is a sellout. Munster GAA has confirmed that all 42,500 tickets for the fixture are gone, reflecting the huge interest in this particular pairing after two titanic clashes in last year's Championship as the two teams that lead the All-Ireland betting go head to head. Indeed, it could be argued that this is not even a particularly high stakes game with both counties expected to advance to the knockout stages and they may well meet again in next month's Munster final - and beyond. While Cork won both Championship meetings last year, Limerick won the previous four, while the spoils were shared when they clashed in the Allianz League at SuperValu Pairc Ui Chaoimh in February. In a bid to get supporters into the ground early on Sunday, Munster GAA has also announced that The OARS, a new contemporary duo made up of songwriter/guitarist Eoin Coughlan and multi-instrumentalist Brian Morrissey, will perform a 40-minute set at the ground ahead from 2.35pm ahead of the 4pm throw-in.
