The New York Hurling Classic Saturday, November 16, 2019 Citi Field 12:30PM

Anyone who likes hurling this is your chance.

It is a great sport.

Depends on the football season and Ohio State game time for me.


Hurling, "Ireland's Ancient Warrior Sport" debuts at Citi Field on Saturday, November 16th! Widely believed to be the world's oldest field game, Hurling combines agility, strength and intensity - earning it the reputation as the "fastest game on grass" among its loyal and passionate followers. This popular Irish sport will come to Queens with a 4 team tournament in which Limerick will defend its title against three counties: Kilkenny, Tipperary and Wexford.

The New York Hurling Classic will feature the very best and most competitive hurling rivals from Ireland. In addition to the hurling tournament, the event will feature a lively Irish festival complete with music and dancing.

I saw a game of hurling on Wide World if Sports back around 1974. What a manly game. I dont remember helmets or face masks. Could not believe they were whacking a hard rock of a ball around like that.

We hold an annual hurling classic here in Iowa as well, but ours is held on New Year's eve.
