Kilkenny (Camán the Cats!) They say there’s no side like the Noreside and we would be inclined to agree!

The black and amber Cats just so happen to hold the title of most All Ireland hurling wins of all time and the Marble City is the home of the humble pint of Smithwick’s, there’s a story around every corner on the streets of Kilkenny.
