From Croke Park to Dunboyne: My Crash Course in Hurling Culture

In my visit to Ireland, I had a chance to learn about the Gaelic sport of hurling A special thanks to:

• Croke Park and the GAAMuseum for an amazing tour and sharing the historical significance of hurling and Gaelic football
• Cormac Dunne at Dunboyne Sports and Leisure for helping me find appropriate attire for supporting the local teams
• St. Peter's GAA Club Dunboyne players and fans for giving me a real hometown welcome, as well as an education in scoring, rules, etc.

Here are a few of the images I was able to capture during the very physical and highly competitive match.
