God, I love this game so much. Brings back many fond memories of driving all over Galway watching club matches with my uncles in the 80s and 90s. I was at the match in Athenry when Eanna Ryan was grievously injured. That was before they introduced helmets to the game. I live in the states now, and follow the big matches on twitter. I pay for view if Galway is in the All-Ireland final. Thank you so much for this great compilation. Hon the Tribesmen!
Never heard of hurling (USA here), was watching Bob's Burgers this morning and it was on there. So had to check it out, looks like a pretty exciting sport.
you're a great channel for the game Darragh, you highlight the best moments for everyone to see. Everyone can experience the magic of our game. Good to see you back uploading.
Such an amazing sport. Makes you proud to be Irish. Just wish that it would be taking more seriously up where I grew up in Donegal and other counties. Was honestly never introduced to a hurl once growing up. Would have loved to have played the game. 🇮🇪
Amazing that I haven't heard of this sport yet, although I thought I was well informed about Ireland. I know this variety of Sports exists because I read the wiki article about Irish hero Kevin Barry and it says that he also ran this sport. By the way, I would love to see this Irish sport spread even further around the world.
Hurling is Ireland’s 2nd most popular sport, after Gaelic football. Hurling and Gaelic football are both governed by the GAA. The GAA was a nationalist organisation established in 1884, in Tipperary, Ireland
In the USA watching Hurling for the first time in fifteen years. Still exciting, and scary. Enjoy Gaelic Football too. I think GAA would enjoy Lacrosse?
@Soda King Ya 2010 & the homecoming, the stuff of dreams, Tipperary flooring what they call the greatest team of all time and deny them a historic moment!🤣🤣 they had to burn all the "its history you know the 5 in a row" tee shirts!! Before they escaped and ended up in every pub across Tipperary, Avonmore had to re-ice the cake at the banquet in the citywest hotel 🤣🤣🤣. Hammered KK in 2016 and ending the decade in 2019 hammering kilkenny again as they watched Dublin win the 5😂😂😂.
Best game ever..from the playground in school's too club level..to county.. league's and championship. No just the fastest field sport on earth but the toughest played by warrior's that become legend's ☘️👌👍
I came to this video because I was cynical of the title... But yeah seeing the technical plays and skills it's hard to think of a sport that's looks as difficult/tough as this
@@NC13468 I don’t know about that, it’s a Native American game that the French named lacrosse. In fact during world games and tournaments the Iroquois nation has a team and is one of the best nations in the world at it.
Hurling is my life play 3 hours a day at home honestly wouldn’t know what to do without it I’m only 12 from Wexford aiming for the Wexford squad cmon Wexford
Yeah it's probably because she was useless at it but to be fair at the same time Athy is one of the biggest shitholes in Ireland so that might have a bit to do with it as well
Nah, shinty is only an offshoot of hurling, I've watched shinty games, they don't even come close to hurling. It's the oldest and best ball game in the world bar none.
@@conoconnor4375 you could be right but then again - you've not taken us in the Shinty-Hurling international for a wee while (as of 2019 we'd taken 4 in a row) and that's with your big bats. Either way, I never played hurling as a laddie but got a great grounding in shinty and enjoy watching both!!!
@@andrewberry9356 That's true, but I believe a lot of the teams on the Ireland side were made up of players from the weaker counties in hurling in Ireland, the strongholds of hurling in Ireland, cork, kilkenny, Galway, limerick and Tipperary didn't have too many o the Irish selection , so the Ireland teams weren't particularly strong in those meetings, this I believe is more down to these particular county players being not particularly interested in the international series, many because they're amateur and put so much time and effort into competing and trying to win the holy grail.of hurling the all Ireland championship, they just don't ha e the sa.e motivation to put in the required time and effort to play an international series as well. The weaker teams and players see it as more of an honour and are more committed to representing the country because they have so little chance to do anything with their county's because they're not good enough to compete with the elite counties I mentioned.
Pity some counties only play 2/3 games a year.. No one cares about the league.. You would think they would promote the league more.. Footballers ⚽ play 50/60 games a season and yet they are called soft by hurlers who play 5/6 important games a season
I love this game and I'm an American, but it's only a matter of time before African Americans start playing it hear, and we all know what happens after that.....
@@tomkelly8427 oh right that's funny ,there are different styles of football . Bat and ball games ,someone invented basketball .In America .They actually had a basket at each end .then some bright spark made a hole in the bottom .you didn't have to keep getting the ball out .apparently the old wifeys used to give children a wooden spoon and a ball ,probably made of wool or twine to amuse them .They used to play football between villages .apparently ,people used to die .

no because if the rest of the world know about it they will inevitably ruin it. Money will overtake and passion will be forgotten.

I never thought I'd love this sport so much and I'm not even from Ireland.
Thank you for that Daragh. God I miss the Summer hurling. Watching this has made me realise how much I do.
I never knew i loved a sport so much now that its gone
Ìts back were u from
It will be never gone
Gone where? I play, and new people join the club I'm at every week

@Soda King Why the rude reply? The man only asked a question
The skill in hurley is above & beyond ☘☘☘💚💚these lads give all for there County.. and no pay..
Some Irish hurlers, here in Boston,once called Lacrosse "girly hurling" when I mentioned it to them.
I love the way the video starts off with the best hurler in the world. Tony Kelly

I remember the 2019 all Ireland . Honestly the best game I have ever been to! I remember when I got back to Thurles by god the parties 😂 Hon Tipperary

Yaa obviously it is skillful. Its amazing to watch. First time i came to know about hurling
Hurling is the greatest sport in the history of the world
Greatest game of all time.... bar none.
Watch this over football allday.
Glad to see your back🤟🏻
Love this. I think hockey and Aussie Rules derived from this.
Yes they did
All other ball games originated from hurling, it's believed to be well over a thousand years old possibly as old as 1500 years.
Hockey derived from Irish immigrants in Canada, ice hockey
Class vid man
Great egg and spoon race skills 👌
Some of the best gaa vids on youtube :D
I came to this video because I was cynical of the title...
But yeah seeing the technical plays and skills it's hard to think of a sport that's looks as difficult/tough as this
It's like a cross between hockey and lacrosse.
And murder 😂😂
Your class
this sport gets every irish man addicted
Pure class 👌🏻
Hurling is the best
best sport on earth
Reminds me of lacrosse. An Ancient game that mixes physicality and skill. Something spiritual about it. A beautiful looking game!
Lacrosse came from hurling
@@NC13468 I don’t know about that, it’s a Native American game that the French named lacrosse. In fact during world games and tournaments the Iroquois nation has a team and is one of the best nations in the world at it.
@WannaBeRockStar800 hurling is 3000 years old, if you google it you'll see hockey, baseball and lacrosse all came from hurling
@@NC13468 I’m sure it’s older but I don’t believe the ancient Irish came across the Atlantic and showed the sport to the Native Americans
Hurling is my life play 3 hours a day at home honestly wouldn’t know what to do without it I’m only 12 from Wexford aiming for the Wexford squad cmon Wexford
Stay dedicated
Are you crazy now?
Looks to me like you got there well done
I have played five different sports hurling is the best game i ever played buy a mile
Well done half to see your back
Hon Tipp💙💛
On the way back
I'm with ya Irish person
Classssss
Brilliant video and anyone know Moyne in Tipperary
How have I never heard of this game?
This rules
Haha my mother used to play that game when she was at school in Athy. She said it was no more skillful that any other just more brutal
Well then your mother wasn’t very good at it
Yeah it's probably because she was useless at it but to be fair at the same time Athy is one of the biggest shitholes in Ireland so that might have a bit to do with it as well
@@conor1821 OUCH..The old thatched cottage near Athy.Have to say it is a dreadful shitepit.
Well she was clearly just shite at it
It's only in recent years that they now wear helmets when I was younger it was played without any protection
Up the rebels class vid
How does hurling compare with ice hockey in terms of skill and excitement?
So good
What the name of the song at the start of the video
I love hurling I play it evry day
Showed podge Collins v cork twice😀
Do galick football next

@Eddy Fitzgerald Good lad
Well they are taking there time it's only been around for 3000 years you clown 🤡
They have basketball
Americans be like wtf hunting isn't a sport
Garlic is still better
Gaelic sorry
Nah prefer pesto myself
Not a patch ón the small ball
This is about ball game sport, not food, you're in the wrong thread dummy 🙄
This is boring because it is very easy to score
No it isnt..It just looks easy
Try playing it and you will find out how easy it is to score.
Stupid comment! They have radar because some points are unbelievable and you’d be tired after 10 min
Good one 😂
Ruined it with that dumb imprint.
Love the sport but honestly don't think it's the most skillful
I do because it takes a lot of work to get a good first touch and even watch cian lynch and what he can do with a sliotar
@@lukemcinerney449 it's defenitly top 15 but not top ten in my opinion
Name one that needs as many skills, Just one.
@HerrKapitanSebas ice hockey comes from hurling. Look it up Irish emigrants started it in Canada in 18 hundred s.
