It only felt like hell on earth, but it sure was hot at the Limerick GAA field on Sunday when Allentown squared off against Philadelphia in a hurling match.
The Weather Service says the temperature hit a high of 93 degrees in the Pottstown area, but on the field, the athletes say, it gets a lot hotter. All that running back and forth doesn’t help much, either.
Fortunately, at the end of the game, officials turned the sprinklers on. Some of us couldn’t pass up a chance to add least stroll through the spray. (Including me.)
Final score: Allentown 3-19, Philly 4-4.
