John Hanbury ready to worship on Fenway Park’s ‘holy ground’

Galway’s John Hanbury says he and his team-mates were “a bit naïve” about the Super 11s when they went out two years ago to play Dublin in Boston’s Fenway Park, which he describes as “almost a holy ground” in American sports.

“We were out there before and we were a bit naïve to the scale of it all,” says Hanbury.

“When we got out there we realised it was such a huge event. It was part of the bigger Irish festival that is on that weekend. It is the culmination of that.
