Top Cat DJ leads his heroes home

DJ CAREY bounded onto the platform at McDonagh Station in Kilkenny last night beaming with pride and proving to the 35,000 assembled fans that he’s not just the Top Cat but also the Real McCoy.

As the party begins in earnest, there’s already talk of the possibility that the minor and senior hurlers could make it three in a row each next year.

“This is what dreams are made of,” DJ said as his sons Sean and Michael grabbed his legs, anxious not to get lost in the crowds which gathered at the city train station to welcome home the victorious minor and senior teams. Their mum, Christine, followed close by.
