Diplomacy wins out at Iverk Show

IT took a diplomatic Kerryman to send thousands of Kilkenny and Tipperary hurling followers home happy from Iverk Show.

MEP Sean Kelly was asked before he opened the show in Piltown on Saturday to wish Kilkenny the best of luck in next Sunday’s All Ireland final.

The former GAA president did as he was asked, but as a Munster man he said he also had to wish Tipperary the best.
