Northern California College Hurling Final 2009

Stanford v UC Berkeley in the first every Collegiate Hurling final to be played in the USA. The sides were level at half time, but Stanford stepped up a gear in the second half. Would Berkeley rise to the challenge? Watch and see...

they are doing pretty well. you really have to start playing at a young age to really get a feel for it, you can see the way they swing the hurl its just not quite right but not half bad :)

Its like their wearing basketball shorts.... and the supporters are giving out about every tackle that would be considered a normal tackle here in ireland...

It's great to see Americans playing hurling, not just Irish people in America. Thats the way the game is going to progress over there. The standard will improve too when people start playing it from a young age. Keep it up!
