@91gt306 where are you based? I bet we can find you a team, if not North America GAA then through a less formal club. @Dhegarty182 is right, hurling is taking off in the states and i can tell you that 2012 is going to be a watershed year for its growth.
Is this sport only played in ireland? I mean is it a olympic sport or is there a world cup for it? Asan american im new to this sport and would like to know more about it because it looks great.
@91gt306 It's most popular in Ireland, but there are many Teams & leagues in America, Canada, England, France, Australlia etc. its getting bigger and bigger
Great game super Tipp, im a Dublin man and so proud that my team will get the chance to play the Champions in the Semi's waited so long for a strong Hurling team bein my favourite of the gaa sports from a mostly football county, Tipp for Liam again, they were robbed in 2009!
@saspriska1 hah! No the sticks known as hurleys don't have nets, like hockey sticks except lighter and a bigger bos, actually nothing like hockey sticks! The players can't actually pick up the ball with their hand, they must rise it using the hurley or catch it on the bounce. they can pass it with their hand but they must throw the ball up and then palm it towards the player. can't directly throw it. other than that 'puc' the 'sliother' over the bar for one point into the net for a goal (3 point
can someone explain this sport to me? it looks interesting. so the players can pick up the ball with their hands, but have to pass with the sticks? other rules?
@hoppuspears I would venture to say that you may have some Irish ancestry, given the fact you are Australian, I am surprised that you don't know about hurling. It is well known and played among my Australian relatives, and is the type of sport at which Australians excel.
@hoppuspears PS check out you tube vid. Hurling - the fastest game on grass, you will understand why I think it is the type of sport at which Australians would excel.
It requires a high degree of skill, endurance and courage. much like Ausi rules, which is derived from another Irish national game GAA football.
@mattyman17 You are so right, but this game is about 3000 years old, and defines the Irish for what we are. It was once a way of teaching battle field tactics, skills and techniques. It inspires and raises passions in the Irish, like no other sport can...........
@STEPcoach if you install a program called hide ip, you can fake your location as being irish, im irish from tipp and live in holland, so i do the same!!!
i am delighted for tip that day well done tipperary playing kilkenny at their own game i am sick of the cats winning the whole time well done to tipperary abu!
