In Sunday's New York Times there was an article on Hurling on the front page of the sports section and continued inside (title in the print edition "An Irish Sport, All Its Own" the title of the online article is "A Passion for Hurling, the All-Ireland Game"). The main focus is an Inverin vs Kinvara match in Galway but it touches a few other areas and there is slide show of photos online as well.
