Sydney set to host hurling exhibition match
President Michael D Higgins last month revealed that his native county would be travelling to Australia next year to participate in a one-off game. However, a venue and a date were not revealed at the time. Higgins made his remarks on his visit to Oz and New Zealand.
Should the Tribesmen retain their Allianz Division 1A title, it’s expected the runners-up will be invited to fly to Oz for the game, which will be the main event in the Sydney Irish festival, set to take place between November 9 and 11 at the city’s showgrounds, which is located in the Olympic Park.
