    Enjoy the big final Nighwish. Should be brilliant. Going to see Backyard Babies in Manchester Academy (3) on Sun, Punk band from Sweden. Got asked to go by a few mates. Not my thing really but it should be a good gig. Enjoy the final. Come on Kilkenny. :)

    I'm from Dublin with Kilkenny family so although I couldn't get a ticket to the final (boo) I'll probably head down to Kilkenny to watch it somewhere.
    However, went to Kilkenny City last year but there wasn't much buzz about. Any ideas where would be a good place to go and spend a night and really get a feel for the place? I'm not looking for somewhere with young folks and mad night life as such; just a friendly pub with a BIG screen TV and a bit of life, y'know.. I was thinking perhaps somewhere where a player is from or something perhaps..
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated. :)

    I'll also post on the Kilkenny County board as I've just noticed there's two Kilkenny sections..

    Got my ticket last night for the Upper Cusack. WOO!

    Caderyn - If you want some good atmos for the match, you might be better off trying some of the pubs around Croke Park like the Big Tree?

    Plus, if you are around those pubs on the morning of the match, you will pick up a ticket from someone at face value.

    Ouch. Yeah it does look more like a practice session than an actual Championship game.

    Watched the game in Knock airport before flying out to Manchester, surrounded by very happy Kilkenny fans. In the end the juggernaut that is Kilkenny ran riot. Is there any stopping them?

    We'll find out in the morning. Usually 5:30 ish. They take the train down and then board a bus to the celebration stand [Usually the Parking lot of Dunnes. Not sure now since the taxi rink is there now]

    I listened to it on RTE Radio over the internet since I'm far, far away. Pity they restrict the TV streaming to Irish IP addresses only :(

    Where will I find out tomorrow? I'm in Dublin at the mo so would love to go down to Heuston to wave them off from the station so if anyone has any more info that'd be great. :)
    So happy with this win, hooray. :D:D:D

    What a great day! The minors were very very lucky with their win. The seniors were spectacular to watch and it was fantastic to be there on the pitch when Cha lifted the cup. Cant wait for the homecoming!

    You can get some stuff from anywhere, like the news and prime time, but things like GAA coverage are geographically restricted - RTE probably only paid for the rights to screen the games in Ireland.

    My neighbours in London said this link posted on Boards.ie somewhere (prob. GAA) worked well today for both Minor and Senior games:

    What are the chances of meeting Kilkenny punk fans in Manchester? Very happy they were. Just posting from the Britannia Hotel in Manchester. Well done on a terrific and amazing win. First 3 in a row since 1913. Guess what I just had?, one of these from a can.

    Listen to KCLR in the morning. They usually give out the details. You can also ring them if you don't hear anything on the radio.

    I thought punk died in Kilkenny when Malcolm Noonan became a Councillor, Denman. Has it risen again??

    You are the local dj. I heard Ballyragget mentioned in the background behind all the music, beer and everything else. Very happy fans I have to say. It is for that reason I asked the bar staff did they have Kilkenny, and they had it in a can. Happy days for all concerned.

    Talk about anhilation, Waterford are not that bad, just KK were streets ahead. The KK full and half back line is like a brick wall, simple as that.
    Thrilled of course but hard not to feel sorry for the other side.

    well atleast Waterford got this far, they lost to a good team atleast :)

    [EDIT]
    just reading the irishtimes and this made me laugh
    Waterford, poor Waterford. They weren't beaten. They were pummelled and then tied to a truck and dragged around the pitch as a warning to others. Kilkenny scored 33 times in a 70-minute game. They won by 23 points. They didn't lose a single battle around the field. Awesome is too modest a word for them.

    The 16.25 train i'd say? It's gets into KK for 18.21.

    The 15.05 will get them into KK for before 5pm.
