Dublin and Galway fight again in Boston hurling exhibition
If you thought the hurlers of Dublin and Galway would be on their best behaviour for their return to the AIG Fenway Hurling Classic in Boston, you thought wrong, .
The two counties were involved in a ‘donnybrook’ (American version of a shemozzle) two years ago when the Super 11s format was first brought Stateside.
Last night, the rematch between Dublin and Galway in a semi-final saw those scenes repeated early on, albeit on a smaller scale.
Yup they're at it again @John_W_Henry :) :) #AIGFenwayHurling pic.twitter.com/DxE068g1TK

It’s truly amazing how heated this pair get over an exhibition game!
There were some moments of magic for spectators to bask in on the day too.
How about this for a spectacular triple save from ‘penalty corners’ (a replacement for ‘65s) by Clare ‘keeper Andrew Fahy to hold out Tipperary?

But the strength and skill of Peter Duggan, who scored 52 points between the two games, sealed the title for Clare…
