Thank you to all the organisers, to the judges Matthew Sweeney, Afric McGlinchey, Madeleine D\u2019Arcy, Padraig Trehy and Conal Creedon.  And to all who helped secure the prize monies, including generous donations from the Munster Literature Centre, Kevin Swords, Jessie Lendennie and Mary O&#8217;Connell.<\/p>\n<p>A fantastic night of poetry, with 150 enthusiasts in the house, three nail-biting rounds of slam ending in a photo-finish between Fergus Costello&#8217;s 118 points (out of a possible 150) to Se\u00e1n Dennehy&#8217;s 119. And all this followed by an excellent reading from Billy Ramsell and a vibrant open-mic run by Rab Urquhart. The videos follow beneath.<\/p>\n<p>A special thanks to Stephen O&#8217;Riordan for all the excellent filming, and photos from the night which you can see on our facebook page <a
