THE cost of a ticket for this year’s National League Final is almost the same as an All-Ireland semi-final ticket. An adult stand ticket will set you back €35 which is a fiver less than the Kerry v Tyrone All-Ireland semi-final from last year, but at least the juvenile seats […]

Kerry 1-10 Roscommon 0-14 PLENTY to think about for the next three weeks then.
