As in Irish Hurling.

Anyone here ever play? It never comes on tv anymore but it looks awesome. There is a thread for everything else anyway.

Greatest game on the planet, bar none.

Fastest ball game in the world. And it gets really brutal & tough every game. I can see it being huge in the US if it got coverage.

Those guys have some serious skills. We used to have to play it in school, i cracked a knuckle & hate it as a result. Fun to watch though.

Now that would be a great thread for sure.
