After sussing out parking today , it is going to be a disaster there's nearly more parking in the health center in tullamore than the gaa out here beside Cullen Park
There is a car park beside Dr. Cullen Park, at Carlow Hurling Club grounds. You need to be there early on Wednesday.

Really really looking forward to this Wednesday evening.
Without adding any pressure to these young lads, isn't a joy to have such a special group of players progressing nicely, all contesting Leinster finals, school finals and all ireland finals.
Last year their was in excess of 15k in portlaoise for minor final, I fully expect a sell out Wednesday. This group of players have captured the publics eye which is great.
Come on Offaly!!!!!

The beet factory is not up to much these days, surely a few spaces there?
Seriously though, is there any advice up anywhere in relation to traffic advice and suggested parking.
Be handier to drive to kildare and get a train, get a lift home of someone heading to Offaly!

Cork beat Clare tonight in a great Munster U20 final by 2 points, Clare were the better team for majority of second half after trailing at ht by 1-11 to 0-11..Clare too control in 2nd half and pulled 4 clear at one stage, Cork made alot of changes and pulled themselves back I to it as Clares trojan effort seemed to tire them.. Corks Ben Cunningham got MOTM, but Clare no. 12 or no. 4 was more worthy I thought..Cork will be hard beat now, they did well to beat an excellent Clare team tonight after beating Tipp last week.. Offaly/Wexford will have to rely up the ante who ever wins Wednesday night..

Offaly/Wexford will have to rely up the ante who ever wins Wednesday night...of course they can but tonights Munster U20 final was a great game of hurling, either team could have won it in the end..

Flying home to Ireland especially for this tonight and will travel down tomorrow. Managed to get the all clear from the boss. How does one get tickets for this? I see some post they are sold out. Where were they on sale to start with? Any chance of picking one up at the gate?
Seems a little odd to go to an 11k capacity ground judging by the following of Offaly underage last few years. Wexford will travel in numbers I would have thought also sensing a good opportunity. Kk or portlaoise would have been better surely. There prob are good reasons and I know Carlow is pretty much half way......but facilitating as much support as possible might have been better I think myself.

How do people think we will line out tomorrow ?
Ben Miller, full back ruled out with injury. If expect James Mahon to move to full back with Brecon Kavanagh or Ter Guinan going to corner back and the other to wing back.
Shane Rigney looks like he'll miss out too with Injury. Screeney the obvious choice to come in here.
Where does Dan Ravenhill come in ? Too good to leave on the bench.
Thankfully we have a strong bench so have players to come in.

Parking is advertised by both O'Hanrahans and Carlow Town clubs, both of which are adjacent to Dr Cullen Park.
The former is more accessible coming from the M9 and Wexford side. The latter is down a lane to the left just before Dr Cullen Park. In the manner of car parks, both will probably be brutal to get out of with nobody to direct traffic.

They’re sold out, been on sale online since last Thursday. You could chance your arm by showing up and trying to get in but I doubt there’ll be any touts at an u20 game
