The teams were the winners of the respective feiles in their own counties from Leinster, plus an extra team from each club in the host county, Kildare.

In all there were 32 teams, a dozen of which were Kildare based.

"It was a great day, helped by the weather and, of course, the many volunteer helpers we had," a club spokesman said.

Kilcullen itself fields 18 teams between girls and boys, with the girls teams doing particularly well at the moment. In all, 14 of the teams are in the under-16 levels.

The club is always happy to welcome new members and help from parents, especially from amongst the new families who have moved to town in the recent growth years of Kilcullen.
