A Weekend of Hurling

This weekend is shaping up to be a potentially rather sports-packed few days. Later today Cork play Dublin in an All-Ireland hurling qualifying match at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork. I'm still debating if I should go and watch that match live but i will definitely at least watch it on TV. The more exciting hurling-related event of the weekend, however, takes place considerably further away.

The Munster hurling final is on Sunday. It is Tipperary versus Claire and is taking place in Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds there, one of the largest GAA venues in Ireland. The plan is to take either a train or bus up there from Cork around noon to make it there in time for the 4pm match. Its supposed to be quite a good match, and I get to see a town that has poems named after it in the process.
