Kilkenny are scheduled to face Wexford in Saturday’s Leinster senior camogie final at Netwatch Park in Carlow and the early signs are that both teams will fulfill the fixture despite the controversy surrounding skorts continuing.

There are few buildings more striking in Kilkenny than the Tholsel – the historic town hall located right in the heart of the city. In its time it has served as customs-house, market centre, courthouse, and today, as the home of local government. In 1985, it was almost lost to fire. As you enter the familiar open arcade on High Street, a small black plaque written in both English and as Gaeilge, states the date of the building’s construction as 1759.
