Ballycastle McQuillan’s Awards dinner

Eight time All Ireland winning hurler Richie Power was the guest of honour at the Ballycastle McQuillans awards dinner in the Marine Hotel on Friday night and the Kilkenny legend proved a very popular guest. The two time All Star spoke about his career with Kilkenny and with his club and admitted that one regret he had was not winning a Kilkenny senior title with Carrickshock. He went on to say he would gladly swop his eight All Ireland medals with the Cats for just one senior club medal with Carrickshock.

Antrim county chairman Seamus McMullan was also in attendance as was the new County Camogie chairperson Una Kelly who is of course also a prominent member of the Ballycastle club.
