I can no longer defend football. It’s been ruined. But what the hell is “hurley?”
Hurling?
At 14 years I became a Hurler. Its an Irish game played with a stick like they use in field Hocky and a leather type ball. No protection Just shorts and a t Shirt.
It OK except the Irish use the stick like a bat and no one is safe during or after the “Game”.
I played in Croak Park near Van Cortland Park in N Y C .
Great sport if you don’t get Killed.
