Kilkenny All-Ireland homecoming: 'GAA is part of our DNA. It holds us together'

The Kilkenny minor and senior hurlers were welcomed back to the Marble city by several thousands of members of the public despite their heavy losses to Galway and Tipperary.

Hundreds turned out for the post-match banquet at the Citywest hotel on Sunday night despite a disappointing day in Croke park where Tipperary secured their 28th All-Ireland senior title.
