I'd imagine this was football 100 years ago before FIFA lol

What is the sense of the goalkeeper if every player can touch the ball with their hands?😅

👓😎..😍..Classic!! 🙏..'Van The Man'..🌲🗻🌅❤..Much Respect 💞💞

I am from India. Cricket is most popular sports here but since 2011, India never won any world cup. So, looking for some alternate sports and this one seems interesting. How to play this sports and what are the rules can someone provide me link about this popular Irish sport.

Attended an under 17s match in Kilkenny this spring, it was mesmerizing. at halftime, all the kids run out on the field with their hurley and play! I then found a hurley artisan who shared his process, family history, etc. with me. Have never seen so much sawdust in my life but Mr. Bulfin was so kind, even invited me to tea in his kitchen!

Brilliant! I attended an under 17s game in Kilkenny and was mesmerized.

How are there not at least 3 dead players and 5 dead spectators per match?!

UP THE DUBS

Oh God the swinging sticks and barely any protection though... 😭

Some careful and magnificent editing done there, Nice work!!!

Yep, that's me. Your probably wonder how I ended up in this situation

I cry for the sheer beauty….tomorrow will be St. Patrick’s day, 3/17/3024….long time a fan of Van’s work…. I was fortunate enough to marry an Irishman in 1992…sweet soul of Erin.

🔥🔥🔥💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀💃🏻🎸 Yeah Van

Well it’s early one morning Billy Henry arose Straight to his comrade’s bed-chamber he goes Saying, “Rise, loving comrade, let nobody know, To the dark and chilly waters a-bathing we’ll go.” So Billy he stripped and then he went in And he swam the dark waters all round and around Saying, “Oh my loving comrade, oh don’t you go in For I see there is a coffin in the Lakes of Shilin.” But the other one, he stripped and then he went in And he swam the dark waters all round and around Saying “Oh my loving Billy, why did you go in To the dark and chilly waters in the Lakes of Shilin.” Now there was an old woman who lived there close by She went to Billy’s parents and she made this reply: “Your son he went a-bathing as I’ve heard him say And now your Billy Henry he’s as cold as the clay.” Down came his mother like one in despair, She’s a-wringing of her hands and a-tearing of her hair, Saying, “Oh my Billy Henry why did you go in To the dark and chilly waters in the Lakes of Shilin?” So down came his father like one in despair, He’s a-wringing of his hands and a-tearing of his hair, Saying, “I brought up a family of fine-bodied men, And the best of them’s drowned in the Lakes of Shilin.” So it’s down came his sweetheart like one in despair, She’s a-wringing of her hands and a-tearing of her hair, Saying, “It’s six months and better till my wedding day And now me Billy Henry he’s as cold as the clay. So we’ll go around to Martin’s, to Martin’s by the shore. We’ll hire us a small boat as we’ve done before And we’ll search the dark waters all around and all round Till we see that Billy Henry’s fair body is found.” So they went around to Martin’s, to Martin’s by the shore And they hired them a small boat as they’d done before. And they searched the dark waters all around and all round Till they saw that Billy Henry’s fair body was found. For to see Billy’s funeral was such a fine sight: There was six handsome young men all dressed up in white, There was six pretty maidens all dressed up in green, Just to show that he’d been drowned in the Lakes of Shilin.

This sounds as if it was the original song and Fleetwood Mac decided to cover it lol

Some sports are more Equal.

California behind, Oregon's glistening, after the Rain, so let it be, fresher and clean, so listening, ears so listening, really listening, mellow and ready, no hurrying, just get along, who se to know, this Melody flows, Caledonia calling, I am falling right into it!

Back again to my favorite “here just watch this” to explain hurling video

I am also 53, and I'm guessing I'll be 54 by the time this epic finishes. Long may it continue...

COME ON IRELAND!!!

Je hurle sur la video

I wish this was an American thing. If this was an option when I was in high school, I would have done it.

Canadian here. It's fun to see the helmets the players are wearing. It's the sk 100 model by Cooper. It was worn to play hockey during the .......seventies !

Van that Man outrageous

❤☘♬ 👍

Trying to get my head around how great a song this is and why the hell it was never released.

Awesome thanks 👍🏻

Your series of hurling vids are class, the production/editing is top quality. Any more recent years coming?

We have a hiking group hosting a friendly training session for this. As an American, I've never heard of this. I will try it for the first time tomorrow. It looks awesome.

And we will walk down the avenue of love

YES, YES, YES

Who or where is Caledonia? Besides Pinetop singing

Greatest game in the world.

Ujsjsjs

This looks physical more demanding than American Football and i have no idea what this sport is, but i like it coming from an American. How does the games work? Is there a regular season? Is there a playoff with a championship finish? Interesting sport

It was 1972 on the subway in Toronto on a beautiful summer day and there were 3 lads with what I thought were ax handles. I asked one of them what were those ax handles, they looked at each other and answered in thick Irish accents, that they were hurling game sticks. I said I had never heard of it. In these days the matches were between Irish pubs. He invited us to see what it was about. We showed up and saw how brutal and mesmerizing the game was until one goalie was very badly injured. Those were the days with no helmets. I still remember, though, how attractive that subway rider was. Maybe it was my grandma Murphy’s blood that called to me to attend. ❤️🇨🇦
