Hurlers on Fire

hurling replacement 785 pxIt 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.
