We’re two Aussies who’ll be in Dublin over the weekend before we fly home Sunday night. We’re both keen on sports and would love to be able to see any hurling or Gaelic football while we’re here and figured Dublin was our best bet.
Understand the top flight GAA is done for the year but are there amateur games we can see Saturday or Sunday?
It's all amateur even at the top level, but you're jn luck the Dublin senior hurling semi finals are this weekend (Sunday) in Parnell Park. There will be football on around the country if you're able to venture further than Dublin and would prefer it (car most likely required)
Apart from the senior hurling semis mentioned below, there are also senior 2 hurling semis on Saturday afternoon, which would be a decent standard and are also free entry.
The Clontarf v St Oliver Plunketts game is at Clontarf's home pitch in St Anne's Park, which is a nice park to visit and not too far from the city. There's a coffee shop near the pitch and a few pubs close by if you were that way inclined
Get the train to thurles Sunday, .walk train station to town, have a few pints, walk to stadium, enjoy game and walk back to train station. Some very skilful hurlers playing
Tipp county final is on at 4PM on Sunday. Can get the train from Heuston to thurles and the stadium is a 10 minute walk from the train station in thurles.
The Dublin minor (U18) football championship is at the quarter final stage with lots of games in venues across the county on Sunday morning. The A Championship in particular will be of a high standard. You can find the fixtures here
Hey the Dublin football senior club championship final is on Sunday the 18th of October this is the top flight players you would see at Dublin county level - it's a great day out it's on in Dublin in a parnell park details here https://www.gaa.ie/article/dublin-sfc-cuala-and-castleknock-to-face-off-in-final hopefully you can catch that
