Pic: This is the most unusual hurling team photo you’re ever likely to see

As we deal with the return of the grey Irish weather, this hurling photo from Montana is giving us some serious wanderlust.

This image features Jema Rushe (front row, third from right), sister of Dublin hurler Liam who is currently working on her PhD in the University of Montana in Missoula and plays hurling for the ‘Montana Grizzlies.’

Her brother Des tells us: “It’s from a recent competition they held with a couple of other teams.

“The Missoula background looks pretty special and the bear in the background is a statue, not superimposed as I originally thought. Their team is on the right in the wine coloured jerseys.”
