Boston Red Sox president Sam Kennedy gave a ringing endorsement to yesterday's Fenway Hurling Classic.
Kennedy was among the 28,000 spectators at the home of the Red Sox who were enthralled by the AIG-sponsored exhibition match between Galway and Dublin, which even featured a good old fashioned brawl in the second quarter.
"I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who pulled together to stage what was a spectacular event," Kennedy said.
"It's so easy to say no to new and different things, but Boston once again proved why it is the best city in America - the passion and intensity was off the charts.
"We need to do that again - and soon."
Dublin manager Ger Cunningham enthused: "Overall reaction is one of immense pride to have been asked to play in this exhibition.
"We wanted to win it and we're disappointed with didn't, but the overall feeling is one of pride for having been involved. Here we are at the end of November playing a game of hurling in Fenway Park - brilliant."
