Now where do I start with you?
I think for a start I better tell ye, I'm from the Republic of Ireland (so less of that British Isles mularkey! *grin*)
Now as for hurling being like cricket or rugby. Ehhhh....no!
Hurling is `the Riverdance of Sport'. The fastest game on grass. 15 men make up a team. They go out and use a sliothar (very hard, leather covered ball) and hurley sticks to puck a ball around the field. There are two ways of scoring. Under the bar between goal posts is worth 3 points. Over the bar, is worth a point.
Most of the play is in the air and it's Very, Very, fast.
After sex, it's the most enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
Ooops, did I just say that? *LOL*
