“After we defeated Tipperary, we immediately began our planning for the All-Ireland final. Our first main event was a corporate banquet in Langton’s House Hotel in Kilkenny City on Sunday night.

Despite the economic climate it proved one of our must successful, with 450 — the venue’s capacity — in attendance. The crowd was made up of a mixture of business people and individuals who each paid €50.
