The Day of the Final

We come to it at last. Today is the day of the greatest sporting event of the year, the day we have been waiting for, the event that the eyes of the world will be trained upon. I refer of course to the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final which takes place this afternoon at Croke Park in Dublin. Throw-in is at 3.30pm.

I’d love to experience the atmosphere of an All-Ireland final in person but it’s an impossible task to get tickets so I’ll be watching the match on TV. Here in Maynooth we get a sample however as many supporters park their cars at the GAA ground in Maynooth and take the train to Drumcondra, which is close to Croke Park. The town will be filled with fans in the green of Limerick or the maroon-and-white of Galway. There will probably more of the latter, as Maynooth is on the direct route from Galway into Dublin. The All-Ireland Final is every bit as big as the FA Cup Final used to be when I was a kid.

I was a little concerned that the Final would be played in sweltering temperatures, but it is a bit cooler today though still sunny. No rain is forecast, but the temperature will be around 21ºC with light northerly winds of about 8km/h. Close to ideal conditions, I’d say.

The bookies have Limerick strong favourites at 1/2 with Galway 5/2, but you should bear in mind that last year Cork were strong favourites, but lost to Tipperary after a stunning second-half turnaround. Holders Tipperary had a poor season this time around and didn’t make it to the knockout stages. Cork were beaten by Galway in a semi-final this year. A peculiarity of the Hurling Championship is that Galway, which is in Connacht, play in the Leinster division (because there isn’t enough competition in Connacht). Just few years ago Limerick were invincible, winning four consecutive All-Ireland finals (2020-3) but faded a bit more recently. Can they return to winning ways? We’ll see. I’ll update at half-time and full-time.

P.S. I believe there’s some football on later too.
