"Everyone in Kilkenny GAA acknowledges the sacrifice our healthcare workers have made for the wider community over the past 20 months," said Kilkenny chairman Jimmy Walsh.
"We are delighted to partner with UPMC and offer them free entry to the senior hurling county final on Sunday in UPMC Nowlan Park.
"It goes without saying that everyone in Kilkenny is excited to have live finals back in the home of hurling, and this in a large part is down to the trojan work of our healthcare workers.
"To that end, and recognising their role in opening society, we look forward to seeing them there on Sunday."
To receive free entry to the match, healthcare workers are asked to email [email protected] with details of where they work and their phone number. Tickets will then be issued to the healthcare workers ahead of the game.
