Donal O’Grady: Hurling can learn from Super 11 format

AT the end of the last Super 11 hurling game in Boston, a woman ran down to the front of  the stand in Fenway Park and called Donal O’Grady over.

“I was in official gear,” he says, “so she knew I had something to do with the game.

“When I went over, she was in tears. ‘Thank you for bringing the game to us,’ she said. She’d been over 30 years in Boston and said we couldn’t know what it meant to the Irish out there.
