Kilkenny vs Tipperary All-Ireland Senior Hurling Final 2014 1st Game

[@here2swear]

Why is this sport not famous. Just found it today, very interesting. It's awesome.

bipin p viswanath I found it today. Hurling has itself a new fan.

It's really fun to play I'm from kilkenny and I play hurling all the time and I'm one of the best hurling player for my hurling club and kilkenny one the second match

[@annapurcell5586]

I am Irish 🍀and I play hurling 💦its a tough sport and u are very capable of getting injures 👎🏼

[@daveoshaughnessy]

bipin p viswanath I was at that game and also went to the replay, and feel very honoured to be able to say "I was at that game" Hurling is a native sport to Ireland, but through our many emigrants around the world, there are now clubs set up around the World in many towns and cities and the game is growing in popularity. But the heart of this game still remains in counties like Kilkenny, Tipp, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Clare and others, it's a 100% amateur game, many of these players have full-time jobs or are students, have to train to professional levels, nutrition and diet like a professional, commitment like Professional Sports-person, but are unpaid, and do this for the honour of their county jersey and their county supporters. It is an astonishing game, and a great source of Pride for the country.

I was at this match. Incredible! Many say it was the final match ever played. There is nothing like a match between top notch panels. It is poetry in motion. The thing that absolutely amazes me is that all these athletes are AMATEURS! The training they need to go through to get to this level is brutal. All props to them. I like all Gaelic games, but I LOVE "iamánaíocht!"

[@notthisprickagain8499]

Greatest game of all time

[@ChristmasTrax]

I'm from England but my Father is from Tipperary and I absolutely love hurling but one thing I've never understood is how this game never took off. I've shown so many people this sport and even people who don't like any sport, have never had a bad word to say about this game.

[@ciankeane6485]

ChristmasTrax if you mean by in england not taking off! nobody ever knew it existed as far as i know it was never on english tv until sky!

[@ChristmasTrax]

cian keane Yeah, I did mean in England/UK. I think you're right. Premier Sports also show GAA now, but I think that's only recent as well

[@stoney7145]

ChristmasTrax I love hurling,but i'm from sligo which is not a hotbed of hurling.They are about 26 gaelic football clubs and the same for soccer and they are only 5 hurling clubs.Thats the same in ulster excluding antrim the rest of connacht excluding galway and many parts of leinster.Generally its popular in a quarter of the country.Saying that the interest and passion is more intense ,because nearly all the counties border tipperary.Its a very traditional game and the stick is made from wood from the ash tree no wood is suitable.Only 10% of ash is suitable as well as that its a very picky tree and will only grow on good land.Thats why where hurling is popular it is also usually prime agricultural land,the exception ,being the glens of antrim.However meath and kildare has good land yet gaelic football is the main sport so its difficult to know whats going on.

[@stoney7145]

+ChristmasTrax England is all football in ireland very hard for any other sport to get alook in.

[@stoney7145]

Sky sports is very expensive not every one can afford it.In many cases the viewership has been less than the crowd who attended the game even with crowds of 8000.Many games i can not watch involving my county because they are on sky .I could go to them,but times don't always suit especially when sky insist on a 7pm throw in

Honestly it would be cheaper to get a VPN that allows you to have an Irish IP address. That way you could watch it on the RTE player. The prices they are charging on GAAGO are crazy.

The best game i ever seen, bar none. It had everything in terms of excitement, but the standard was unprecedented. That last free needing hawkeye was as heart stopping a climax to a game as you'll ever see. The last four All-Irelands have been memorable, hate to say it but we're due a bad one.

[@daveoshaughnessy]

It was my privilege (but ultimately frustrating losing the replay) to have been at that match, we were speechless for a few minutes afterwards such was the exhilaration. I remember sitting beside a mix of supporters watching in the Cusack stand and one of them said “I’m not sure I should ever watch another game of hurling after negating what is definitely the best game of hurling I have ever had the privilege to watch - it just can’t get any better than that!”.

Hurling is older than them both,but gaelic football is an irish sport like hurling and they are governed by the same association the GAA.Many GAA clubs play both sports so rules and field have to be similar.Hurling would also have been standardised first and then gaelic football

[@imockrartedcomments7672]

They can hit the ball hard af

[@TomEbbsjamasteroids]

Awesome Game. Probably the hardest ball and club gamey game ever invented.

[@josephboland627]

It wasn't really invented it evolved over hundreds or even thousands of years in ireland.The rules are mostly the same since it was standardised in 1884 ,but the stick is completely different.Originally the game was played mostly on the ground ,but now it has elvolved towards more aireal play and the head of the stick has become broader to allow for aereal play and to pick the ball of the ground in to the hand.

[@TomEbbsjamasteroids]

so it was basically the first play of hockey and then it became a seriously hard sport...my old man used to play it down at croke park and gave up playing it professionally for playing rugby for St.Mary's rugby club like most of the rugby players in my family and then went to play for london irish. They still have those metal bands round the clubs...they used to rip the skin of my fingers, really annoying. Anyways Joseph Boland I heard that this year the GAA NHL were planning on making it a full on professional sport.... took a while seeing as it was founded in 1884

[@josephboland627]

T Buss The ethos of the GAA is an amateur one,so that will not change any time soonj,but i will probably see it my lifetime,but will take at least another 20 years

i don't like the fact you can just carry the ball in your hands. this is what makes soccer and hockey superior to me, the fact control of the puck or the ball is always a fight, it brings another dimension to the game, 1 on 1 duals, feints etc.

[@Hide_and_Tweak]

Diesel415 yeah, i got that rule like the basketball, but i find it looks also like a lack of style in basketball. And about shinty, to me it looks like hockey on grass with children sized sticks. Maybe it could be nice with decent sized sticks. but yeah at the end, if you like it, it's cool.

[@Diesel415]

+Hide and Tweak Hey if you like 'soccer' and hockey then that's cool. I prefer more fast paced sports played by athletes possessing a myriad of skills not hindered by all sorts of rules that slow down the sport to the level of excitement of a grammer school kickball game.
