Hurling is an ancient Irish sport which has been played since prehistoric times. It is an outdoor team game which is similar to modern day hockey, featuring a hard wooden or plastic ball and curved sticks used to hit the ball. Hurling is extremely popular in Ireland, and is often referred to as the "national sport". It is also played internationally, with teams from the USA, Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand competing in the sport. Hurling is the fastest field sport in the world, with the sliotar (the ball used in the game) reaching speeds of up to 120 km/h! It is an exciting and thrilling game to watch and play, and is a great way to improve fitness, agility and skill. So why not give it a go and find out more about this fascinating sport?
