2009 has been a truly remarkable year for Guinness and the GAA. Both organisations are celebrating significant milestones, and to mark that, Guinness has teamed up with the GAA and The Last Word on Today FM to bring 250 hurling fans, 125 from each finalist county, to the All Ireland hurling final on Sunday 6th September.

The hurling semi finals are taking place in the next two weeks, with Kilkenny and Waterford meeting next Sunday 9th August, whilst Limerick and Tipperary will go head to head on Sunday 16th August.

There will be 25 winners from each county, and each winner will be invited to bring four friends along to the hurling final, making it a grand total of five tickets per winner! The competition will start on The Last Word on Friday 7th August. All details are available on www.guinness.com and www.todayfm.com
