Crest of Purdue University HC where the seeds of hurling was sown.
The first Spring tournament of the newly formed Midwest Collegiate Hurling Association (MCHA) takes place tomorrow Sunday, March 27 at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Weather permitting, teams from Purdue, Indiana University and a Chicago club will see action at this first tournament of the new season in the fledgling new US college stronghold for the sport of hurling.
Later in May, the Midwest will host the first ever US National Collegiate Hurling Championship at Chicago.
GaelicSportsCast spoke earlier this year with the chairman of the organisation Matt Schwertfeger about the growth of hurling in the Midwest, and, about the future hopes of the MCHA.
