Figure 1.--Here is an under-12 youth hurling team. I do not know if the photograph was taken in Ireland or not. We note very little about the unifirms used for hurling, but the available images suggest a uniform similar to that worn for football (soccer). |
Hurling is a game most associated with Irekland. It is similar to field hockey. I am not sure to what extent it is played outsude of Ireland. I believe that it is played in some American colleges. The field is 80 yards by 140 yards. Each team has 15 players. A wooden stick with a club-like base (the hurley) is used to hit a cork-centered ball. Hopefully our Irish readers sill tell us more about it. We note very little about the unifirms used for hurling, but the available images suggest a uniform similar to that worn for football (soccer).
