More than silverware at stake for Sydney hurling winners

The winners of this year’s Sydney Irish Festival hurling game between Galway and the Allianz Division 1 winners will earn a second trip to Australia in two years’ time.

The centrepiece of the two-day event takes place at the city’s Showgrounds in Olympic Park and will throw in at the Spotless Stadium on Sunday, November 10.

During last November’s International Rules series, it was confirmed that the winners of this year’s Division 1 final would face off against Galway in the New South Wales capital in late 2018.
