– Leinster Final 2013

It was popcorn stuff as Dublin ran out 2-25 to 2-13 winners over Galway, which was the first Leinster title for the Dubs since 1961. The Senior hurlers will be looking for similar success this Saturday in front of what we hope will be a very large and vocal Dublin crowd!

A great night was at the Craobh Chiarain GAA Club when Tommy Rooney from Off the Ball, hosted an evening with special guests including Anthony Daly, Richie Hogan, Richie Stakelum and Ryan O'Dwyer. All of whom backed Dublin to win the Leinster Hurling title this Saturday. Alongside the special guests were Craobh legends, Ciarán Hetherton, Alan McCrabbe, Derek Finn, Murty Ryan and Seán Shanley.

There has been huge demand for the free juvenile tickets, with one Dublin club alone bringing over 500 juveniles so far! Applications for the free tickets must be in by 12pm on Wednesday June 3rd.

You must give your name, club name and how many juveniles (boys and girls) are attending. 1 entry per club.

With Leinster GAA giving away up to 20,000 free tickets for juveniles, FODHC are going to add to that by giving away 2 dozen sliotars!
