Offaly fans cheering on their team during the recent Leinster U20 hurling final win over Dublin. Offaly fans vent fury over ticket chaos for sold-out U20 finalTickets for the All-Ireland U-20 hurling final quickly sold out when they went on sale on Monday afternoon - and many Offaly supporters who missed out have slammed the ticket process and the choice of venue for the showdown against Tipperary. Some Offaly fans even contended that Semple Stadium (despite it being Tipperary's home ground) would have been preferable to Nowlan Park due to its larger capacity. But the venue for the All-Ireland U-20 final had been decided several months ago, with Nowlan Park chosen to host the showpiece in recognition of the 100th anniversary of James Nowlan’s death. This Kilkenny city venue is hosting this year’s All-Ireland under-20 hurling final to commemorate the 100th anniversary of James Nowlan's death.
