rough Irish sport that involves a stick and ball. You beat the ball and other players with the stick. Fouls are rarely called, and much blood is shed on the field.
George went to play hurling so he could beat some guy with a wooden stick, and play a damn fine sport at the same time.

The most mean and evil teamsport on the globe. Played with special sticks, the referee is nearly only on the pitch to count goals scored etc, fouls are rare (eventhough the players often beat the sthit out each other)

Mainly played in Eire and New York
Hurling is not for sissy's

probably the toughest sport on earth and one of the oldest.
Forget all you yanks going on about 'football' and lacrosse being SO hard. This is the daddy of them all. Played mostly in Eire where it originates but also played quite a bit in the UK.
There is a Scots version called Shinty that is just as fast
