its a matter of how far can you push the opponent before they snap and you get them sent off or else a brawl breaks out and the match is abandoned. i was always fond a row when we were getting beat and there was minutes left

I played that once, its a cray sport, with some amazing talents in it. The Hurle is like an ax shaped wooden baseball bat, and the ball was (i am pretty sure) just a rock wrapped with leather

[@ClaireQuinn566]

Not all hurling matches (games) have fights in them. Far from it. You should watch one of the All Ireland Final hurling matches. They are brilliant. It's a wonderful highly skilled game. I'd say it's the fastest game on grass. About 3000 years old. Children start learning it from a very young age. None of the players get paid. They all have to hold down their jobs and still manage to practice & play games. 👍🇮🇪

[@mccarthy5825]

Hello from Dublin lads, you definitely have my sub and my thanks for a great reaction video. I like how you guys seemed to really get into the games... I would love to see you guys watch a classic game or pretty much any game between Kilkenny and Waterford... Or anything with Kilkenny really! Or if you want to watch GAA football... Watch some classic games between Dublin and Kerry. Very very intense rivals and some incredible games. Helmets are only compulsory since 09 I think and people might not know but they aren't paid for this. I mean they get their training, healthcare, transport, equipment sorted but these guys work jobs during the week. They go to training after a day's work. They don't transfer or anything.. You play for your local club usually and then you get picked for your county. Our county is like a state in America. It blows my mind how many millions players in Premier League, NFL, NBA get compared to the GAA players here. They do it for pride and for the love of the game and are just as professional as the players in the other sports. Looking forward to you guys covering more stuff from the Emerald Isle... You lads should try watching some Father Ted or checking out The Cranberries(it's been done loads but still) or learning about the Northern Ireland 'Troubles' or 1916 Easter Rising... Or even have a pint of Guinness that is poured properly and see what you think... All the best from 🇮🇪 👍

Watch a full match. You will be blown away with the skill, speed passion that these amateurs play. American football has too many pads and to many adds. But I like ice hockey that has its roots with hurling and the scotish version shinty. Hurling is more the 2000 yeas old and was training for warriors. Injuries are surprisingly rare. Its just action for 70mins with a 10min half time.
