Well done to Cian MacGabhann, Oisin O Rorke and Chris Thompson of Crokes!

Over 25,000 fans turned out to witness this great game, in the home of the Boston Red Sox. The 11-a-side match was part of a series of Irish-themed sports events in Boston this week.

Former Hurling Section Chairman Tom Barry is one of those who has been involved in the development of this "flavour" of hurling. 

 

Thanks to Chris Thompson for the photos of Crokes players Cian MacGabhann and Oisin O'Rorke, along with Chris himself, in Fenway Stadium earlier this evening.
