Never heard of hurling (USA here), was watching Bob's Burgers this morning and it was on there. So had to check it out, looks like a pretty exciting sport.

[@soullesscreature28]

I never thought I'd love this sport so much and I'm not even from Ireland.

@Soda King Ya 2010 & the homecoming, the stuff of dreams, Tipperary flooring what they call the greatest team of all time and deny them a historic moment!🤣🤣 they had to burn all the "its history you know the 5 in a row" tee shirts!! Before they escaped and ended up in every pub across Tipperary, Avonmore had to re-ice the cake at the banquet in the citywest hotel 🤣🤣🤣. Hammered KK in 2016 and ending the decade in 2019 hammering kilkenny again as they watched Dublin win the 5😂😂😂.

Amazing that I haven't heard of this sport yet, although I thought I was well informed about Ireland. I know this variety of Sports exists because I read the wiki article about Irish hero Kevin Barry and it says that he also ran this sport. By the way, I would love to see this Irish sport spread even further around the world.

[@sl_721]

Hurling is Ireland’s 2nd most popular sport, after Gaelic football. Hurling and Gaelic football are both governed by the GAA. The GAA was a nationalist organisation established in 1884, in Tipperary, Ireland

God, I love this game so much. Brings back many fond memories of driving all over Galway watching club matches with my uncles in the 80s and 90s. I was at the match in Athenry when Eanna Ryan was grievously injured. That was before they introduced helmets to the game. I live in the states now, and follow the big matches on twitter. I pay for view if Galway is in the All-Ireland final. Thank you so much for this great compilation. Hon the Tribesmen!

Such an amazing sport. Makes you proud to be Irish. Just wish that it would be taking more seriously up where I grew up in Donegal and other counties. Was honestly never introduced to a hurl once growing up. Would have loved to have played the game. 🇮🇪

Nah, shinty is only an offshoot of hurling, I've watched shinty games, they don't even come close to hurling. It's the oldest and best ball game in the world bar none.

[@andrewberry9356]

@@conoconnor4375 you could be right but then again - you've not taken us in the Shinty-Hurling international for a wee while (as of 2019 we'd taken 4 in a row) and that's with your big bats. Either way, I never played hurling as a laddie but got a great grounding in shinty and enjoy watching both!!!

[@conoconnor4375]

@@andrewberry9356 That's true, but I believe a lot of the teams on the Ireland side were made up of players from the weaker counties in hurling in Ireland, the strongholds of hurling in Ireland, cork, kilkenny, Galway, limerick and Tipperary didn't have too many o the Irish selection , so the Ireland teams weren't particularly strong in those meetings, this I believe is more down to these particular county players being not particularly interested in the international series, many because they're amateur and put so much time and effort into competing and trying to win the holy grail.of hurling the all Ireland championship, they just don't ha e the sa.e motivation to put in the required time and effort to play an international series as well. The weaker teams and players see it as more of an honour and are more committed to representing the country because they have so little chance to do anything with their county's because they're not good enough to compete with the elite counties I mentioned.
