What clubs form the South Kerry hurling team now MickMack? presumably........ Kilgarvan, Kenmare, Crokes........ some great hurlers came out of those parts over the years. Denis P o Sullivan who died recently kept the flag flying there for decades. |

Ah sure u cant really count them areas as South Kerry....they seem to be part of an area of their own.. I saw a hurley in South Kerry once.... Outside the Harp nite club on one Saturday night and oddly enough no sliotar to be seen!!! |

Judging by the attendances for the Q Finals for the last few years I dont think too many Kerry fans will be out of pocket anyway. Being based in Dublin means that its less expensive to be a Kerry fan............ Thats true Mickmack when we play in Dublin, but I go to a good few of the league games around the country and usually try to go to the games in Kerry (any Excuse). In years gone bye I drove down and back in the same day but in the last few I have been overnighting in Tralee to break it up a bit. Thats what I tell Mrs Sullyschoice anyway. That works out quite expensive especially if I bring the kids, but if I couldnt afford it I wouldnt do it |

I certainly don't feel ripped off. Am glad the Kerry game is on first so hopefully we can win that one and then I can relax and enjoy what will be a cracker of a second game.
Munster hurling has been out of this world this year and I am looking forward to another classic.

I know I'm in a small minority judging from the comments, but my reaction when I got a ticket was "Wow! An All Ireland hurling semi final for only €10 extra!" As well as that, I now lnow I'll get to cheer for our neighbours and the county whom I'd naturally support in the hurling championship after they beat Clare. I'm delighted! Is nobody else of the same opinion? OK, but how much more over what the other quarterfinalists had to pay would you think that about before thinking it's a ripoff? An extra €20? €50? €100? The GAA are going to push it as much as they can. |

Hard to believe as this may sound but I've never seen a hurling match in the flesh. So my first hurling match will be an ALL Ireland Semi - and for €10.00. Happy Days.

That was the best value extra tenner I ever spent. Very enjoyable, despite crap seats purchased on net.
