VIDEO: From Kinsale to San Diego - hurling on the beach

A group of young GAA players from Cork, recently arrived in the US on J1 visas, were delighted to get a chance to play their native sports in the California sunshine.

Joey Beeching and his friends only arrived in San Diego last week, but when they heard there was a GAA Sevens tournament taking place there over the Memorial Day weekend (May 22-24) they decided to enter.

Sounds like an idyllic way to spend your first weekend in the States, especially when you can put some practice in on the sun-drenched beaches in San Diego.

It is no Garretstown, but it’s not too bad!

With thanks to Jerome Quinn for the video.
