Hurling Goalkeeper

A mad individual that is a goalkeeper in the Irish sport hurling they have to stand in a 2.5m x 6m goal while trying to block a sliotar which is about 6cm is diameter with a goalkeeper's hurley which usually has a bas (the flattened, curved end) twice the size of other players' hurleys to block the sliotar. A good strike with a hurley can propel the ball over 150 km/h (93 mp/h) and this individual has to block the sliotar with any part of their body as long as they don’t concede a goal they do all of this whilst wearing the same amount of protection as all of the other players on the field
