in Scotland we have shinty ,a Scottish twelve-a-side game resembling hockey, played with curved sticks and taller goalposts and derived from the Irish game of hurling.
@Peacelily Shinty and Hurling was the same game hundreds of years ago. Look at the old hurling sticks and the Shinty sticks they are very similar. My son played with an Ulster Gaelic speaking hurling team along with a hurling team from Galway over in Scotland against Shinty teams. Ireland also plays against the Scottish shinty team each year also. If you tune into BBCAlba you can watch the Shinty league games
I know that in ancient Ireland they had summer and winter Hurling, hence the modern Irish hurley stick and the Scottish shinty stick. I can´t remember which was which. That´s for the scholars among ye to enlighten us.
They didn't add "+ the skills of the egg-and-spoon race", but it fits. It's a very old game - three thousand years is commonly quited, and I don't know how accurate that is or how they know, but there are certainly literary references going back well over a thousand years. The legendary hero Cú Chulainn played it.
Hurling is a game that archeology confirms is at least 2000 years old. It was originally a method of training, used by Celtic kings and Chieftains to train warriors for battle. There are accounts of single games lasting several days. Today it is a regulated sport played entirely by amateurs. You play for your parish, town land, or county. There is a women's version of this beautiful sport called camogie. Either one is a thing of beauty to watch 🇮🇪
Helmets became compulsory about 10 maybe 12 years ago. But usually if you get hit with hurl it's your own fault for standing back. Either tackle and get in close or stand WELL back. Lol. Check out Gaelic football your more likely to get hurt playing it. ✌🇮🇪
Can't touch the ball when it's on the ground, so you do need to pick it up with the stick, yes.
Irelands national sport. Croke park in Dublin is its main stadium. Pre covid holds crowds up to 80.000. All Ireland game which means it encompasses Northern Ireland as well. All Ireland played between all 32 counties. Biggest rivalry is between County Dublin and Kerry.
Well no it football it's dublin and the rest of the country lol
@@columlennon In the southern half of the country its hurling,the rest its football bar dublin which is mainly soccer
It’s like football no matter where you shoot from and you score it counts.
Thought you'd like it 😉
My dad tried to explain it to me when I found his hurling stick as a kid, I just used the stick to practice hockey shots.
It makes sense that when the Scots and Irish were turfed out their homes by the English and made their way to the US that the sports they created would take some, if not all of their home sports. So Scots have shinty and the Irish have hurling, both of which could have given birth to baseball, american football etc.
I've been hoping you would react to this. My whole family play G.A.A. (hurling, Gaelic football, handball) Try a series called A.I.B The toughest trade. G.A.A players swap with. N.F.L HOCKEY BASEBALL etc player's. ✌🇮🇪
Welcome to the greatest game on Earth.
This is the most entertaining sport in the world. It's not even close.
The stick is called a "Hurley" and the ball is call a Sliotar, pronounced ( Sli - tar) It resembles a baseball up close but it has thicker stitching. and yes its hard as s**t, got hit in the face with one as a kid.
Look for a video on the rules of Hurling. One of my Uncles used to play for Tipperary Hurling team about 55 to 60 years ago.
Field hockey is a women’s sport here too, while the boys play rugby at school, the girls play hockey
The ball they use, as I remember at least is much harder and heavier than I had anticipated at first and I’m imagining the ball they use in hurling to also be surprisingly hard and dense
It is indeed. It's called a sliotar (pronounced "slitter") and is very hard, with even harder ridges traveling around it. It consists of a core made of cork, surrounded by leather. They experimented with rubber core sliotars a few years ago but found they made the bounce much too unpredictable and the ball traveled too fast, so they've gone back to the cork core sliotar.
Not at all, girls play rugby and boys play field hockey in loads of schools and universities.
“Ppl must get there teeth knocked out” this is so oddly specific lmao like creepy my brother got loads of his teeth knocked out and split open his gum from the Hurley
a friend of mine who was a hurler,told me theres no hiding on a hurling pitch. its not for the faint of heart.
A great game, I played Hurling a few times in my youth. It Can be a brutal game. 😂.
Youll see a few hurls in the goal . 1 for pucking ( long smack downfield ) 1 for saving
Connor as an Irishman I'm telling you it's the best game in the world!!! The 2024 All Ireland Hurling Final was on today played in front of 82,400 people and there was no Pay for play! It's about the Parish and Community your born into!!!! It's shown to Millions around the World!! The players are Amateurs but they train like any professional. Most if not All have been playing since they're about Four or Five years of age. The governing body of beautiful game is the GAA (Gealic Athletic Association) is the Largest Amateur Sporting Organisation in the World!!! There are hundreds of Clubs around the world including in the US. New York would be your closest. Claiming Irish blood as you do - This Game is part of your Culture too - imbrace it 😀
Kids walking home with their teeth in their pockets. Broken fingers and bumps all over their heads, ah those were the days :D
About 2,000 years ago the Romans saw the Irish playing Hurling . They said " Nope " to invading the Emerald Isle . LOL !
just thought we will let the british sort that out GSTK
Hurling is over 2000 years old… field hockey . Lacrosss and anything related came from hurling not the other way around
Hurlers learn from a very young age where not to put their heads. A hurley is also far lighter than a field hockey stick, and far more flexible. We don't get many injuries from strikes with the hurley, perhaps the odd broken finger. Most injuries our elite players suffer are hamstrings and cruciate ligaments. The best hurlers are nimble of foot, and this puts a strain on the legs.
Bat is called a Hurley or hurl . The say its 3 thousand plus . Which is true but its al less 5 thousand years old ( the game ) its hard to be sure because it was invented before Ireland used writing. The helmet is optional. Some play better without. Oh it the most popular sport in Ireland but its an amateur game the players don't get paid they all have day jobs . But as you can see they have the fitness and skill of any professional athlete or better. The league wants to keep people playing for the love of the game rather than money or fame . You get expenses and some sponsorships from advertisers. If your very good .
Yea and if you manage to get to play for your county in an All Ireland final, or god willing win the All Ireland, your set for life at the very minimum you would never have to buy a drink again.
@@KernowWarrior exactly. I had a friend who had a recurring dream of himself winning the all Ireland. And he had his speech in Irish memorized. It was ( obviously it never happened) your right about never buying a drink . I was in a pub in Dublin after an all Ireland semi final and several players from the winning team came in . They were bombarded with free pints .
Sometimes they fight and sometimes there is blood...
The stick is called a hurley and the ball is hard like a baseball.
Please do more Irish Hurling reaction. Most astonishing fact? The players are *AMATEURS!*
You might like a 'refresher', so here's a short 'Rules' video (720p video) (watch until 2:07):
- 'The Rules of Hurling - EXPLAINED!' [2015] (4m0s) czcams.com/video/biFcgUB98ns/video.html
Starts with facts, then snippets of game play for all 'does' and summarises don'ts. Game play is covered by 2:07. Maybe stop at that point 🤔 After 2:07, it's 'dry'; covering restarting play, fouls, and penalties. List of Fouls at 2m43s. Penalty rules have changed (no defenders).
You've already reacted to:
- 'Hurling - The Fastest Game on Grass' [2009] (5m21s) czcams.com/video/TmzivRetelE/video.html
There's an error (players can run 4 steps holding the ball), and it's so old that they don't mention since 2010 all players must wear head and face protection. IMO it's not as good on rules as 2:07 of 'EXPLAINED!'. However, it 'Hypes' the game well. So it made a great reaction video.
Note: Senior inter-county matches last 70 minutes, the rest are 60 minutes, played in two halves.
Maybe with a 'refresh', you could watch any game and get it 🤔😃
You might watch 5½ minutes of a real game (it's Epic):
- '2018 All-Ireland SHC Semi-Final: Cork v Limerick' czcams.com/video/NuT3jBl8-TE/video.html
(start from 3m12s to 8m43s, game clock to 5m21s ) Five points are scored in 5m21s.
It is end-to-end, very skilful, athletic and physical. They cover ground at breakneck speed.
Or, you might choose to watch a short video concentrating on game play and skills:
- 'The Magic of Hurling II HD' [2019] (3m41) czcams.com/video/I1Vw66Zs0dQ/video.html
High quality video (1080p) showing players' speed, and highlighting skills in slow-mo. There's no explanation of the rules. However, it might be fine after a refresh of the rules.
WARNING: If you watch a live game, use the toilet before starting. You won't dare pause or miss a second. Have plenty of 'fluids' and snacks on hand; watching hurling burns calories. 😃😃
To be clear, I have no relationship with Hurling. Also, I'm English so it isn't about my National Game. Hurling is the Best Game/Sport I know.
----
I don't go for conspiracy theories. However, I might pass them on ... 😀
Hurling is so much better than other globally-popular team sports, that maybe the 'Big Money' sports actively conspire to keep Hurling off global TV. Who'd watch any other sport if Hurling was available? Further, when people learn that Hurling players are *amateurs*, who'd want to watch players who are paid enough each week to feed a couple of thousand kids for a week?
Both icehockie and baseball formed from hurling.
A hurl or a hurley stick. Or a weapon of war . Players choice
The only way to pick up the ball is with your Hurly, you can't use your hands!
I don't know how the ball is made but if it's anything like the ball used in Rugby Fives (squash but gloved hand instead of a racquet) the ball is solid and HURTS to get struck with one. The USA has a similar Hand Ball game. Traditional Rugby Fives ball is bird feathers steamed into a ball and encased in leather and they do hurt ☹️ Cheers DougT
This game existed thousands of years before America existed, so it can't be part of other games that also didn't exist. Americans can't seem to understand that.
All have to wear helmets now for safety and the stick is called a hurley
was actually first played by leprechauns long long ago
Six foot Leprechauns.
No they all have hurling . Its 3000 years old . irishmen played this 1000 years BC
That´s as far back as we can reliably date it. Probably a lot earlier. Like the Brehon laws.
Do not say hockey ..it is our native game....hurling...the stick is called a hurley and the ball is called a sliothar
All those sports your naming such as lacrosse are very new this sport is 3,000 years old as is Gaelic football all your American sports have borrowed from older sports this sport is one of the oldest in world, when comparing you should understand that baseball is a new sport as is lacrosse, ice hockey also new , ps they wear gum shields and the stick is a hurl or Hurley .enjoy .and yea I'm Irish lol.
There are women and children who play this game
Not everyone is cut our for playing this "game" ....
