[taibshe]

[clemoffaly]

Hail Hail Na Fainna!! Played for dem frm 95 to 1999..sum laugh..we were black n amber back then...Doc Gantley was da gaffer

[Niallersz]

whos that lad in goals for padraigs, jesus hes a big head!!

[tymcnally]

Great stuff, Na Fianna. We (Denver) hosted your ladies football squad last summer I believe. If ya don't mind, I'll be postin a video response we ourselves have put together. Now I'm sure I'll get the Irish traditionalists who say we can't play worth a shite, but it's better than not playin at all! Our Denver squad at last year's NAGAA championship fielded a camogie team, ladies football, jr C hurlin and jr B hurling.

Most American hurling clubs compete at the Junior club level.Much thanks to the Irish fellas bringing the sport to the States.There is no comparison to the Senior teams of Ireland obviously, but the sportsmanship and respect is taught all the same, the GAA has complete control over the sport so there is no way for Americans to 'ruin' it as mentioned before.Keep an eye out for collegiate teams forming in California and Washington State, hurling is becoming increasingly popular in the states!

[PopaIRL]

Good game, bet there wasn't one american out there.

[dantube54]

i dont think there are very many americans who play senior now but there is an upcoming generation who are playing hurling and maybe a few will be good enough to play senior

[beej4090]

Most American GAA teams have a pretty even split of about half Irish, half American. Some teams even 1/3 Irish and 2/3 American. The Irish members clearly carry the team athletically and in a coaching role. Give it time, hurling has only just begun to make it onto college campuses, soon it will be available to children and from there the talent grows.The GAA is doing an amazing job with developing Irish-American talent.We may see an American Senior team Play an Irish Senior team in our lifetime.

[ccfchoggy]

its at best intermediate level hurling

[IrishBookWorm]

Not too bad but youll never beat the rebels. UP CORK!!!!!!

I think its great other countries want to play hurling. Who knows one day it could be bigger than soccer ;D

[richardcham]

Thats not half as bad as I thought it would be. Sure it doesn't matter that half of them are Irish right now. The next generation will be made up of mostly americans. As long as they spread the sport abroad sure thats all that matters

[horse2540]

gud enough. but most of there players cum from ireland anyway. i say theres a good few irish ones on that team.

[dantube54]

up cork we need to internationalize our sport so post a comment about hurling and tell people to ook it up on every video you watch

[aidantim]

[cavejim]

[macker33]

C'mon cork.

[conartist321]

[Stringer9]

Meh, it's not that bad, Cork could tare them to shreads but they're not half bad. (Better then the Kerry hurling team, I don't even know if they have one actually.) Still they're not that bad. UP THE REBELS!!

[DavidRyan89]
