Destination San Diego for hurlers

The Kilkenny hurlers will be heading to America on their post All-Ireland final holiday.

In fact, the travelling party will be jetting out to California, or San Diego to be precise, for an eight day break.

The party will fly out on Wednesday, December 28 and return on Thursday, January 5.

San Diego is on the Pacific Ocean coast, approximately 120 miles south of Los Angeles and immediately adjacent to the border with Mexico.
