San Fran crowd enjoy scoring exhibition

OUT in San Francisco Airport, when the All-Star travelling party landed last week, a passer-by clocked the tracksuits and asked Tipperary hurler Lar Corbett who was playing.

“We're playing ourselves,” said Corbett. “We've a fair good chance of winning.”

Corbett was correct. Last year's selection outpointed their current-season opponents in the obligatory high-scoring encounter, which was held on Treasure Island, in San Francisco Bay.
