Congratulations to James Stephens

All in Kilkenny GAA send their heartiest congratulations to James Stephens on the official opening of their new complex on the Kells Road. Despite the very inclement weather a huge crowd was present to see Uachtarán CLG Liam O Neill perform the official opening. Kilkenny and Clare then served up a very entertaining 70 minutes hurling and it is unlikely that either team will play on a better surface this year than the carpet like pitch on the Kells Road.Kilkenny won the challenge 2-18 to 1-17 with both managers using the bench particularly in the second half.
