What is Hurling?

Hurling has been described variously as 'field hockey in the air,' 'brutal field hockey,' 'like lacross but with solid sticks' etc. None of these descriptions really do the game justice. To truly get a feel for the spirit of the sport requires that you see it in action. It exhibits a unique combination of skill, athleticism, stamina and speed that few sports can match. It is acknowledged as the fastest field game on earth. It has the speed and continuous flowing action of ice hockey but on grass.

    Hurling is a great sport. I'm from the US and have no Irish in me, but they used to show games occasionally on TV here and I thought it was great stuff and wanted to see more, but they haven't shown it in years. Early professional baseball was dominated by Irish players (the Delahantys, Mike Kelly, John McGraw, Larry Doyle, etc.), and though hurling & baseball are nothing alike, I can see how a hurling background can lead naturally to baseball. I'd like to see more hurling on US TV.

    The same goes to Gaelic football, it is also an amateur game. Faster than rugby union and American football. Aussie rules too. Gaelic football flows very well.

    You Can't run with the ball in your hands all the way down the field you can only have the ball in your hands for about 4 steps.
