Over 250 lucky guests packed into Ballsbridge Motors to witness a unique event which saw Leinster rugby stars take part in a celebrity cook-off hosted by top Irish chef Neven Maguire.

Guests were treated to an entertaining showdown between several of the team who also surprised guests by bringing along the Heineken Cup on the night.

Still on cloud nine after their fantastic win in last Friday’s Heineken Cup, Leinster players Jamie Heaslip, Shane Jennings, Eoin Reddan, Kevin McLaughlin, Fergus McFadden and Stephen Keogh went head to head to show off their culinary skills.

The event also showcased Volkswagen’s fantastic selection of old and new models and the host of VIP guests were treated to a great varied evening of entertainment.
