Power later joined the Kilkenny senior team and won a National Hurling League medal in 1982.
Cork was the opponent that day; however, the Leesiders provided little opposition and Power won his first senior All-Ireland medal.
Cork were Kilkenny's opponents again in the championship decider and, once again, the Leesiders fell to 'the Cats' giving Power a second All-Ireland medal.
Kilkenny lost their provincial crown for the next few years; however, the team returned in 1986 with Power winning a third National League medal.
Three years later in 1990 Power won a fourth National League medal and in 1991 he collected a fifth and final Leinster title.
