Once home to a proud hurling legacy , The Hurling Club in the city of Buenas Aires, last week hosted this year’s All Star Hurling tour. Descendants of Irish immigrants attending the exhibition game – many of whom would have had roots in Wexford, Longford and Westmeath – were thrilled by the fast pace and skill of the game, and, were particularly taken by the goal tending exploits of the respective 2009 and 2008 team’s All Star keepers. On the evening the touring party had departed for the green isle far away, GaelicSportsCast spoke with former club president and Irish descendant, Mr Alec Quinn about the tour and the history of hurling in Argentina.

Thank.
I am Alec Quinn brother and had the honor of translate, as best I can the transmission of the game. It was great and probably if you want to learn more about our history about Hurling I have the honor of writing a little essay with other members of the club go to http://www.irlandeses.org/0803quinn4.htm
Please send my salute to Jimmy Darcy and sorry they couldnt enjoy a golf tour as we also inherit the love for that game thanks to the British…
