Hurling is a great sport in Ireland that is widely celebrated and publicized on nearly all forms of media! I have told one or two people about hurling but they made no sense of it, so I'm constructing this so people understand the rules and the gameplay.
The Game ItselfHurling is a sport that origined back to the time of the Celts. To play hurling you need a few requirements, safety and gameplay wise!
Helmet:
Hurley:
Sliotar(slit-her):
Shin Guards:
Finish it off with boots, and for extra safety gumshields, and your ready to go!
Hurling is one of the most skillful and fastest sports in the world! You need to have serious gut and determanation. You will get smacked with the hurleys! You will cry, no matter how tough you are. If you get hit with these at full force, it will be serious pain. The sliotar is also extremely hard, like a baseball. The sliotar itself is a thick leather ball, with softened leather around the outside! Avoid to get hit by these at all times!
This is an example on how fast professinal hurlers can play!
