CAMOGIE/HURLING

Camogie / Hurling is one of the world's oldest and fastest field games. Both sports feature players using a stick, the hurley, to hit the ball, known as the sliotar, into or above the opponent's net.

GAELIC FOOTBALL

Gaelic football players compete to kick or punch the ball into or over the opponent's goal and can move it up the field by carrying the ball, kicking it, and bouncing it off the foot.
