Hurling is a beautifully dangerous game that you would love to get addicted to.\n\nThe game of hurling is more than just a game -- it is Ireland's national passion.  But to appreciate hurling, one must look beyond the mere fact that it is a sport, because it is much more.  Countering the trend towards big-money professional athletics, hurling has remained strictly amateur.  It is a game played purely for the fun and history of it.  It is a game woven deeply into the social fabric of the Irish people.  Which is amazing when one considers just how extraordinarily dangerous the game is.\n\nFirst, the basics.  Hurling is best compared to lacrosse.  Hurling is an outdoor ball-and-stick game played with fifteen players on a field larger than a soccer pitch.  Whereas lacrosse is played with netted sticks, hurling is a played with a flat wooden club, and the ball is struck by swinging the stick vice flinging it as in lacrosse.  Hurling players can catch and carry the ball in the hand, but can only pass it by hitting it with the stick, kicking it, or slapping it by the hand.\n\nHappy hurling .... to know more....

Wasn't it that game with the stone hoop at the top of a really tall wall. They played with a ball type thing and whoever lost died as a sacrafice? Not sure, but I know they played this game just don't know what it was called...

Good Question\nThe answer would be- Yes & No\nIt involves physical skill , so it qualifies as a sport & it has predictable & pre planned results , hence its not.

I once saw a female 'dancer' do a trick with a tossle attached to each breast. While dancing she could make one tossle move in a circle in one direction and at the same time have the tossle on the other breast move in the opposite direction......most unusual thing I have ever seen....of course I was not completely sober at the time, but it did happen.

The Ash tree..\n\nAlso, in Ireland we play a game called hurling, and the hurley (which is the stick you hit the ball with) is made from the Ash tree!  We learned this when we were younger and we were like "Oh my God, the hurleys made from toothpicks"\n\nHope this helps.

Is it actually ILLEGAL in sport per se? Irish Confetti is a racial slang term for throwing a brick in a brawl Oo;

My wife and I ran a hotel for 3 years in York and I was intrigued to discover that the front lawn was a regulation size croquet pitch.  I went straight out and bought a croquet set and we had much fun with matches between staff and guests.  It is a great game and can be played at many levels of ability and tactics.\n\nGive it a go!
