We closed out the weekend at Fenway Park with another year’s installment of the Fenway Hurling Classic featuring three Irish Hurling matches. Hurling is fast-paced, nonstop, high energy action, which is refreshing to shoot.

Here are some images from the AIG Irish Hurling and Irish Festival at Fenway Park yesterday. I’ve never shot the sport of hurling, so wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised.
The game is fast paced and high energy. I’m still not sure if I know the rules, but felt good about some of these photos.
That caps off a long, busy weekend of shooting at Fenway.
