It's been a long time since we checked in with our hurling friends. Saturday, the Allentown Hibernians hosted the Pittsburgh Hurling Club in action at Haines Mill Fields, within screaming distance of the Dorney Park coaster.

On a sun-soaked afternoon, the home boys rolled over their rivals 3-17 to 0-3.

For those who can't get enough hurling, there's much more action in coming weeks, according to the Hibernians' Jeff Purtell:

"Our next match will be against the Philadelphia Shamrocks on Saturday, July 11th, 4 p.m., at the same field (Haines Mill Fields, Allentown).  That game will be the first of the best of three games for the Joe Lyons Cup.  The second game is scheduled for Sunday, July 26th, Cardinal Dougherty HS, time to be announced. The third and final game (if necessary) is scheduled for Sunday, August 16th at Cardinal Dougherty."
