Corkman Conor Lane has been named as referee for the All-Ireland SFC final replay as the GAA confirmed ticket prices for the game.

Tickets will be reduced by a third for the September 14 replay (throw-in at 6pm), with stand tickets falling from €90 to €60, and terrace tickets down from €45 to €30.

Discounted children’s tickets, costing €10, will also be made available through the Dublin and Kerry County Boards.

No general sale of tickets is expected, with tickets to be distributed through the county boards.

Lane will take charge of the replay, marking the Corkman's third time to referee an All-Ireland final.

The Banteer/Lyre clubman previously reffed the 2016 drawn final between Dublin and Mayo and last year's decider, which saw the Dubs beat Tyrone.

This year, he refereed the Dublin-Mayo semi-final, the Donegal-Meath Super 8s game, the Donegal-Cavan Ulster final, as well as Cavan v Monaghan, Dublin v Kildare, and Mayo v New York.

Laois’s Maurice Deegan will be the standby referee, with David Coldrick (Meath) the other linesman, and Niall Cullen (Fermanagh) the sideline official.

Lane's umpires will be Kevin Roache, DJ O'Sullivan (both Banteer/Lyre), Ray Hegarty (Bride Rovers), and Pat Kelly (Kilshannig).

Killarney teenager Luke Doolan has signed for Kerry FC, making the move from local side Killarney Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward was a standout performer in the Kerry District League last season and caught the eye with five goals in the Munster Youths Cup.
He also featured for Athletic’s senior team and earned a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad, where he impressed in international friendlies.
Doolan will now train with the Kerry FC first team and play with the club’s Under 20 Academy side. His signing is another boost for the club’s commitment to developing local talent.
Speaking after the move, Luke said: “I’m delighted to have this chance with Kerry FC and I’m looking forward to working with the team. I’m grateful to Colin Healy for the opportunity and I’m excited to play in front of the Kerry supporters.”
First-team manager Colin Healy added: “Luke has trained with us for the last number of weeks and has really impressed. He’s shown a great attitude and hunger to learn. He’s a talented young player and this is the next step for him.”
Kerry FC CEO Billy Dennehy said: “Luke’s journey is similar to many young players who previously had no League of Ireland pathway in Kerry. His progress is a credit to Killarney Athletic and his coaches. We look forward to helping him develop further at the club.”
