Hurling

[IrishGolfer]

Here's my middle boy playing in a National Championship in Cork (~5 hours away) for his club. They went a long way but ended up beaten in the 1/4 final.

Good action shot!

Great game, my sister's boyfriend plays, it's a good mix of baseball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse, and whatever other sport you want to throw in there.

I've hurled before, never as a sport.

Great picture, IG!

That picture confused the ever living hell out of me....

Great news though, making it to that level in any sport is an accomplishment!

Hurling is this plus a bat and ball.

I think Lowry may have hurled a few times yesterday.

Hurling sounds like a game you play after having too much to drink! Actually looks like fun (if I were 40 years younger).

Yep! Haven't 'hurled' in a long time. Scared to. Afraid I'll unload my teeth into the toilet!

Hurling looks like a super intense sport to play, but much safer to be watching! Your son reaching a high level in this sport is quite an achievement! Well done to the young man for sure!!!

Would Hurling be where North American field hockey was derived from? Or is field hockey played over there too??
