Original Toronto Star caption: Irish eyes not smiling. What better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than with a game of hurling comining the speed of hockey and the toughness of rugby - between two top irish selections at the SkyDome yesterday. There was no love lost in this clash; as witnessed on this play as ireland All-Star Liam Dunne grimaces in pain after being belted by County Cork's Brendan O'Sullivan. After 70 minutes of hurling; fans were treated to Ireland's other rough-and-tumble sport; Gaelic football.
