'For one day, Glen Rovers are the NY Yankees and Cloyne are the Boston Red Sox'

A full house of 30,000 will watch Galway play Dublin in Boston in Super 11 hurling. It provides a platform to present hurling to larger audiences, writes Donal Óg Cusack from Boston.

WALTER Palmer is a bit unfortunate. He shares a name with that dentist who shot poor Cecil the Lion. A lot of people would like to shoot that Walter Palmer. And when Dessie Farrell and myself are out and about with Walter he makes us feel small. That’s ok. Dessie and I know that some people would like to shoot us also.

Walter is a former NBA basketball pro, a second round draft pick who played for the Utah Jazz and the Dallas Mavericks and then had a career which seemed to bring him all around Europe and included a stint in Argentina. Walter is 7’1” tall. Dessie and I are not.
