By COLIN BARTLEY

PLANS for the Cats homecoming celebrations have been drawn up, with or without Liam McCarthy.

Win or lose, the celebrations for the efforts of the Cats and Kittens this season, will take place next Monday in Nowlan Park starting at 4 pm.

Kilkenny County Council announced the teams will arrive in Kilkenny at approximately 6 pm and will take an open-top bus journey from Kilkenny Castle down to Rose Inn Street, over John’s Bridge, and up John Street, proceeding up the Hebron Road and finishing in O’Loughlin Road.

It is anticipated that the teams will arrive on stage at approximately 6.30 p.m.

Entertainment will include a replay of the match on large screens together with live music.  The proceedings will close before 8 pm.

In the event of a draw, the celebrations put on hold.
