[ATFC Seagull]

Nice little article on balls.ie (Irish sport site) about former U23 player Dessie Hutchison with mentions of a few other names.

Funny you should say that - Romaric Yapi tried a bit of hurling during the recent U-23 fixture against Blackburn Rovers:-

I thought this thread was about fans being sick of GP match tactics

I have watched a bit of hurling on tv recently. It is a very fast& skilful game. I don’t know how they control the ball on their sticks (wrong name but...) and amount of running they do is insane. I believe it is all amateur too.
The hurling final is on Sky Mix Sunday afternoon. I will look out for the lad.

I had to check the thread title again to remind me why you’d posted this but once I saw those distinctive ...... eyes I understood!

I did have a look to see if there was any coverage on the services I subscribe to over here (fuboTV, Peacock, ESPN +) but I couldn't see it offered anywhere.

The stick is known as a hurley (or a caman if you're speaking Irish). I've watched the odd game in Dublin and it's a great spectacle.

I notice that there's a hurling team that trains at Hove Rec. It's a sport that I long fancied having a go at but it's too late now

I'll look out for the final on Sunday, thanks for the tip

Weird sport, never seen a game... looks more fun than curling though.
