All The Celebs, Politicians And Sportspeople At The All-Ireland Hurling Final

Just like a year ago for Galway's first All-Ireland title win in 29 years, tickets were in huge demand for 2018's All-Ireland hurling final.

Micheál Donoghue was looking to join Cyril Farrell in managing Galway to back-to-back All-Ireland titles while his counterpart on the Limerick sideline was hoping to end an even longer championship drought than Galway had endured. 1973 was the last time Limerick had claimed Liam MacCarthy.

Some well-known faces turned out at Croke Park on Sunday for one of the biggest says in the sporting calendar.
