741.0. "Hurling League Final in NY" by TARKIN::KNIKER (Hay saved and Cork beat) Thu Apr 12 1990 10:42

Taken from last week's Irish Emigrant:

     - The National Hurling League final will be played in New York on 
       Sunday, May 6.  Cork footballers will play the All Stars on the 
       same day.

Does anyone know more information on this ? I called a cousin in NY and he 
gave me a different date in May (though I can't remember what it was) for the
match.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

741.1What a way to spend an afternoonSIOG::BRENNAN_MTodays best labour saver - TomorrowThu Apr 12 1990 10:5212
    
    
    The date is correct. What teams will be playing will not be known
    until after Easter Monday. Kilkenny have won one of the semis. The
    other between Cork and Wexford was a draw. Both matches were played
    in Thurles last Sunday. A great day's hurling. 
    
    It will be replayed in Kilkenny on Easter Monday. Beidh m� ann.
    I notice that Cork have made quite a few changes for the replay
    on Monday.

    .....and Cork were well-beaten, sad to relate. Now, we'll have to wait
    for the All-Ireland!!

    Yes Cork were well beaten....
    
    Wexford (the victors) were well beaten by Kilkenny. So it's a Kilkenny
    New York final. It was a good match up to half time. Kilkenny playing
    with the wind were 4 points up at the interval. I was hoping for
    an exciting second half.
    
    However Kilkenny piled on the pressure and ran out easy victors.
    There were some nice young hurlers playing on both sides. The person
    to really catch the eye was a young 18 year old named D.J. Carey
    on the kilkenny half forward line. He is another Eddie Keher in
    the making. Also to catch the eye was a Wexford half back called
    Liam Dunne. A lovely skilful player.
    
    The Leinster championship looks like it will be interesting this
    year as Offaly and Dublin cannot be forgotten either.
