What is Hurling
part 1 introduction to Hurling and the history
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 skills
it is played with a long curved stick similar to a field hockey stick but with a broader and flat end which allows the player to control the ball in the air as well as on the ground. it is made of ashwood which has just the right properties that allow the stick to flex up to a certain point. the end called the buss is usually slightly bigger on a goalkeeper's stick.The target is the same as in gaelic football. there are fifteen players to a team on the field. up to five substitutions can be made in the game which is played in two halves of 35 minutes each.
