It is played with a long curved stick similar to a field hockey stick but with a broader and flat end which allows the player to control the ball in the air as well as on the ground. It is made of ashwood which has just the right properties that allow the stick to flex up to a certain point. The end (the buss) is usually slightly bigger on a goalkeeper’s stick.The target is the same as in Gaelic Football. There are fifteen players to a team on the field. Up to five substitutions can be made in the game which is played in two halves of 35 minutes each
