FOREWORD FROM THE EDITOR

GAELIC SPORTS WORLD
PUBLISHER:

One of the most influential amateur
sport’s clubs in America is without doubt
the Milwaukee Hurling Club (MHC) from
Wisconsin. The club is small in size when
compared to other sports bodies of the less
well known or minor sports categories
in the US, yet it has risen to become the
largest hurling club in America in a relatively
short 19 year period. The way the club goes
about its business, its passion for the
sport of hurling and its friendly outlook is
increasingly getting noticed by folks in the
city of Milwaukee and describes an
influence that is not to be taken lightly.

Legal info.
The Milwaukee Hurling Club has also
influenced the birth of new hurling clubs in
Wisconsin throughout the Midwest and even
down south. The level of organization and
attention to detail in how the club runs its
league has become a blueprint for other US
Gaelic sports clubs to follow. MHC has
become a buzzword for all things hurling
in the city of Milwaukee and judging by the
growth from year to year of new recruits
who had never heard of the game, the
relatively small club of some 300 plus active
members, is set to grow and grow.
For the club, last Sunday was a big day
as it brought the 11 team summer hurling
league to a close in the MHC Championship
Game. In this edition we highlight MHC’s
big day and report on the final match
of the summer season.
