CORK AND CLARE will meet again in the All-Ireland hurling final replay at 5pm on Saturday 28 September, the GAA confirmed this afternoon.
The Munster neighbours finished level, 0-25 to 3-16, after a thrilling contest in a sold-out Croke Park yesterday.
It is the second successive year that the hurling season has been extended by a few weeks.
Prior to the drawn final between Kilkenny and Galway in 2012, the last time the hurling decider ended in a stalemate was in 1959.
Although last year’s replay was held on the final Sunday of September, an agreement between the GAA and the LGFA means that this year’s ladies football finals will not be rescheduled and instead take place as planned in Croke Park on Sunday 29th, the day after the hurling.
The decision to schedule an evening throw-in this year was decided following consultation with An Garda Síochána, the GAA said.
Extra-time will be played if required.
Not the most suitable time, both teams are not in Dublin… Travel will be a nightmare…
I’m a neutral but that 5pm throw in is a scandal. Im surprised they didn’t try to make history and play it 7pm under lights , first All Ireland final at night.
at least its a saturday.
Must be trying to get people to stay th enight in the city. it’ll be a mad night in Coppers…
All games should be on a Saturday. Pain in the ass having to travel to Dublin in the first place but ya can’t even have a pint during/after the game coz you have to drive back for work in the morning. I for one am delighted it’s on a Saturday. Think the time is ideal too. not too late not too early.
Ah will ya shtop now!!!!
Come on the rebels
Good that the cork people get to spend another day in our CAPITAL city
We’re just coming up to add a bit of class to the place
So that’s everyone pouring out of Croke Park in the near dark at 6.30 heading for trains, buses, cars and hotels. People will still start drinking at 11 or 12 out of big match habit. This is a disaster
No matter what time of day or night, true fans of both teams will make the journey to soak up the atmosphere anyway…..if its anything to go by yesterday’s epic performance!
Well I’m just happy to see the ladies weren’t made to reschedule again this year, that would be totally unfair. And if my county were in the final I’d be there no matter what time the match was on at be it mid-day or midnight. Good luck to both teams.
I can’t believe people are axisymmetric crying about the time if the kick off. You will get home 2 goes later than you expected… 2 hours?? How many of you ‘supporters’ thought you would even be in a final in September? Personally, id rather have to go to bed 2 hours later than usual, to have a chance to win an All – Ireland… But that’s just me
It’s a throw in not a kick off
Cannot believe I wrote kick-off. My bad, I’ll just have to take that one on the chin.
If you want to go to Croker you will find a way!If not then watch it on a big screen in the local or at home.Either way teams will feel supported.Kids would be rightly delighted to stay up late on a weekend night and will remember it forever!Now quit moaning.
This forces many to stay overnight on saturday. Disgraceful decision and verging on the corrupt.
No it doesn’t there are late trains and buses running
Also these magical things called ‘cars’
I would say Bus Eirann and Iarnród Éireann will have late buses and Trains for the day.
Explain, please, how this is corrupt.
Away in Germany for the final, better start checking for Irish bars.
If you’re in Munich go to Kennedys. Other than that I don’t know.
Staying in dusseldorf, so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great
The Shamrock Bar, there has to be one there
O’Reillys in the Marktplatz. Great spot!
Oscar Wilde in Berlin. Seen two finals there. When Kilkenny thrashed Limerick and when they were last beaten by Tipp. Lively spot worth a look just off the Ubahn at Friedrichstraße
Typical of GAA… No thoughts for their life blood their supporters… Potential finish at close to 7pm.. Add in post match celebrations… Supporters getting Home at early hours of the morning On the roads at the most dangerous time of the week Sunday am….
Disgrace!!!!
5pm are they serious?? terrible blagarding of the fans
Lads I’m living in Korea… 8 hours ahead and I’m up in the morning at 5.30am everyday… there’ll be no sleep for me that night…
Ya poor bollix!!
Cork are going bring back our cup :) :)
Up the rebels :)
5pm in Dublin on a Saturday, nightmare. Poor fans travelling with small kids etc. Not ideal.
Shopping is huge on a sat in dub and the shops plus for congestion reason, that’s why it’s not at 3.30! The shops wouldn’t want the game early
Shops will be closed at 6, the match won’t be finished til near 7 o’clock.
Talking through your arse there the Luas and buses and trains aren’t affected by shoppers
It’s for congestion purposes! When I heard it was say I knew straight away it wouldn’t be 3.30 throw in at croke park
3:30 throw in every Sunday. Nothing to do with congestion.
Saturday is not Sunday and its in Dublin lol
Ian, true supporters still deserve to be treated better than this. 5 pm is ridiculous when you consider small children. What they give with one hand( ticket reduction etc . They have removed with the other. If Munster were playing Leinster and sky set it for 2 or 3 then that is when it would be played. Very bad decision and as a Season ticket holder I will have to think long and hard about going up for the replay because of this.
Ill take your ticket if you decide against.
What does the timing and tv coverage of a hypothetical rugby match have to do with it?
Croke Park was not sold out yesterday the attendance was 81366 there were about 1000 free seats
It was sold out, it just means 1000 or so tickets went unused ,season ticket holders and country board members not bothered to go
Lie down will ya..hurling is the best game in the world..just because ye jackeens are no good don’t mean you have to comment like that..
Sorry Pat? Is it Limerick you’re from? The ‘Jackeens’ matched you this year. We both won our provincial title, and we both got to the All Ireland Semi final.
Actually scrap that, who beat Limerick in the league final and got promoted to Div 1a? The ‘Jackeens’ did.
If we are no good please tell me what that says about you?
A lot of people on here moaning about ‘small kids’. If heading home at 7pm is too much of a stretch them I suggest they’re too small to be at the game anyway. It’s not a school night so they can have an extra sleep in the morning. That said, any 8yr old will be more than happy to sleep in the car after bring part of the big day.
A 3pm Sat throw in would lead to a very sterile atmosphere & exclude many from attending. The GAA get a lot of stick but I think they have this right.
So it’s going to be a late night
It’s not like Clare get to go up every year (we’re not Kilkenny more’s the pity)
Leave Dublin around 8pm after seeing the presentation
Home to Ennis before the pubs close
Spend Sunday preparing to welcome Liam home

This game should be done, Clare really blew that…
It just doesnt sound right. All Ireland final on a Saturday evening. Cant get used to saying it. At least the ticket prices are being reduced.
It should be in thurles or limerick
And people won’t complain about there not being enough tickets as its in a smaller stadium?
The time is fine..no problem with it. The M7 will be jammers again though…should be an extra lane either way all the way to the Cork turnoff at portlaois
An awful lot of country folk attending Gaelic and hurling have no interest in Coppers, pubs excetera. This is the GAA testing the waters for future later starts for tv purposes.
I for one hope it fails.
Late September with the shadows from the stands. I wouldnt rule out a Saturday evening All Ireland with floodlights.
They Talked to the Gards about it, well what’s the diff in having at 3:30 on a Sunday but not on a Saturday. Makes no sence.
Sunday is much much quieter than Saturday in Dublin .
I reckon its to get the get the supporters to spend money in Dublin, either on Accomodation, shops, or in the bars.
fans who arrive straigh tto the stadium and go home straight afterwards add nothign to the city but congestion.
Fans who spend a few hours or a night are much more benefical.
When are the tickets on sale , i know you have to be some kind of member of the gaa website to get them . But if anybody by anychance has 2 for sale please let me know :) or where i can buy some :) thanks
