Traffic management in place in Carlow this evening for sold-out U20 Leinster final

Heavy traffic and delays are expected in Carlow later this evening for the sold out Leinster U-20 hurling final between Wexford and Offaly. 

Carlow GAA confirmed that Gardaí will have a traffic management plan in operation from 6pm in the area around Netwatch Cullen Park and approach roads.

Throw in for the game is 7.30 pm. 

Match goers are asked to come early, cooperate with the gardai and stewards and not to park in residential areas or block driveways. 

Offaly defeated Dublin in the semi-final while Wexford accounted for Kilkenny.

With neither county having enjoyed success at this age in recent years, there is particular appetite for this game amongst both sets of supporters. 

Leinster titles in recent years at U20 level have been dominated by Kilkenny, Dublin and Galway. Wexford last won a title in 2015 while Offaly haven't won an U20 title since 2000.
