Hurling has been described variously as ‘field hockey in the air,’ ‘brutal field hockey,’ ‘like lacross but with solid sticks’ etc. None of these descriptions really do the game justice. To truly get a feel for the spirit of the sport requires that you see it in action. It exhibits a unique combination of skill, athleticism, stamina and speed that few sports can match. It is acknowledged as the fastest field game on earth. It has the speed and continuous flowing action of ice hockey but on grass
