It's a mix of Ice hockey and murder, Fuckin love it....
soccer+Tenis+ a baceball
By far the Best SPORT ON THE EARTH!!!!!!!
Crackin' video! Embodies what hurlin' is beautifully. Maith thú
I'm Irish and from Kilkenny so listen up. 15 players on a team divided into 3 full forward, 3 half forward, 2 midfield, 3 half back, 3 full back and a goalie. Back of the net is worth 3 points and over the bar is one point. You are not allowed to throw the ball, it must be hit with an open hand. Players can run for 4 steps but this game is damn fast so sometimes more. All players are amateur so glory is for home and birthplace and nothing tastes as good as a win for heart and community. Croke Park is the national stadium and seats 83,500 and hundreds more across the country. It is the greatest sport known to man. Enjoy!
Ivan Hughes Ya mean sliotar
Ivan Hughes It'd take someone from Kilkenny.
***** true that!
is just for the tips boy lol
I've seen this a few times on TV and was always immensely impressed by the skills required to play it. I think I would be an avid fan if I lived in Ireland.
It takes a certain amount of skill, you're reflex and eyesight need to be in perfect harmony to play this game good
This a fucking brilliant sport like holy shit how have I not known about this. I play a bit of field hockey and this like that combined with rugby like jesusfuck.
+Justin Olive we kept it a secret for 3000 years
How have you only known about this sport just now ????/ what have you being doing with your life hehe ;)
That didnt stop London from winning it 1 year
Justin Olive I would of thought you were Irish considering you used the term jesusfuck
@finity mccarthy Haha! That was in 1901. They compete in 2nd tier Christy Ring(which they did win) which, in turn, allowed them a chance to COMPETE in the senior. Not to mention the fact that all the London players/management are Irish/of Irish descent. The 1901 team was 100% Irish involvement so what's your point?
I am biased I do admit. I try to watch other sports objectively. I love so many sports but I have never found a sport that measures up to hurling on so many levels. Speed, skill, passion, physicality, honour, tradition, pride, blood and adrenaline. There are no overpaid prima dona's in this game. All amatures who hold down a job and sacrafice so much to play a game they love and all for the love of their club and county. Decendants of celtic warriors risking it all in one incredible spectacle. This is offically the fastest field sport in the world. This is the oldest known team sport on earth. This is the ultimate adventure sport. For me this is simply the greatest sport I have ever had the honour of witnessing. If you are ever in Ireland you should check it out.
boxing
Boxing is one of the best at matching those requirements but it just isn't *NEARLY* as entertaining. Hurling best sport to watch hands down for me.
he said passion, tradition, pride. Mayweather??
Hockey.
the best game ever and I for one am humbled to play the lovely game of hurling
Come to the U.S. And we will show u real men like in the nfl where have guys over 300 pounds and can bench press well over 400 pounds unlike any of these skinny Irish men lol more like women
Sad.
American "football".
Takes 4 hours to "play" a fucking 60 minute game.
There is on average ONLY 11 MINUTES OF ACTION!!!
A bunch of overpaid wankers
Our hurlers are real Men, do it for their community and their county , and go to work the next Day.
11 minutes of a crappy version of padded up rugby vs 70 minutes of break neck speed skill and action. No brainer.
Go back to bed, clown!
hurling . The the best sport In Ireland. and Europe. and on earth.
no 1 is gaelic football
+jack moran You need to travel the world more tractor boy
+Lord Hector Gentleman haha youre funny
+Lord Hector Gentleman what a fool you are. Go around the world and watch the same sports being played everywhere. This game is one of the oldest on earth, a belt of a hurl is what you need
+SHANE MOLLOY Are you special needs?
Never heard of this sport until the video. Looks interesting
I've watched this so may times. Never gets old ;)
Same here
The Game Of the Gods.
in my country, Argentina, some people play this game
The Gaels of Ireland gifted you with the greatest game the world has ever seen or ever will.....Up the Desie
But the Gaels of Ireland didn't create football ?
If they did no doubt you would be supporting an other sport
If it was run by bigots like yourself of course I would.
No one run by fraudsters junkies and hooligans is more to your liking
I love everything kind of sports and hurling was my favourites alongside football, great vid mate.
Cheers from Indonesia..
I love this game. There's no teams local for my sons to play, it's mainly hockey in Australia, which is great also. But not as good as hurling.
Could have done with a few clips of saves.
John Troy's goal for Offaly against Antrim from 0:56 Savage!!
Self proclaimed greatest sport on earth?what about darts?
could phil taylor do it on a cold night in stoke?? probably
Yeah dart players are some athletes
+mrwhatsmyname3x4 Agreed! Amazing strong bodies. Perfect for any sport
Ar fheabhas! Is breá liom iománaíocht, is é an cluiche is fearr sa domhan..Suas na Déise
0:48 best goal i have ever seen
The goal scored in the clip after the b/w clip, was it by John Fenton of Cork/
yep
Ta very much, one of the best goals i've seen in hurling since my wife got me interested in Irish games
It's a game of Giants and every one can be part of it and you don't get payed like the gypsies playing soccer because we have a love for the game and if we get injured we take it like a man and play on. We're Irish
I showed vidoes of all ireland in africa ,.they not impressed,.,.,.so we should send them hurles,.,.
And here I thought I made up this sport with a tennis ball and tennis racquet
Hurling was the Greatest game one time ...but definitely not the modern game😣...
what the fuck is going on ???
Basically a lot of Irish players murdering each other with sticks.
This is literally the mother of all sports. You can see how every sport derived from it.
this honestly makes me proud to be Irish class vid can't stop watching it
+Eoghan Mcgeown Saw a lot of this when visiting Ireland a few years ago...amazing skills.
I've barely heard of hurling till now but I don't get the rule of holding it in ur hand. Can u run the whole way with the ball in ur hand or can you throw it into the net? Just can someone pls tell me the rules of the holding in the hand rule.
You can take 4 steps with the ball in your hand and then you must put it on your stick, you cannot throw the ball however yo can handpass which is a to slap the ball to a teammate. You cannot handpass the ball into the goal when you have possession
***** No, you can hand pass into the goal. You can even hand pass into the goal with out your hurley as long as you aren't running with it.
ye true, a sort of volley goal with your hand.That is correct
Kayleigh Carroll are you thinking of camoige
mrwhatsmyname3x4 There's practically the same thing except girls play camogie. mrwhatsmyname3x4
''Amazing skills''. !!!! This sport and AFL are my favourite sports to watch....
Is breá liom iománaíocht, is é an cluiche is fearr sa domhan..
Is brèa liom iomoníochta agus imitate peile Gaelic
Tá an ceart agat
Cathal Ó Diubháin ta madra amhain agam,spot is ainm do
lol,
the best sport ever!
3:15 that is some point from The Rock
Superb compilation - very well put together. Maithu!
I wish I grew up with this sport. I love the mixture of all the other sports, hockey, football, rugby, baseball. Balancing the ball on the stick running full blast, awesome. Truly an awesome sport. Thanks for sharing. Too bad my knees are shot to give it a go,
As a canadian kid who never really got any good at skating and resorted to playing Ball Hockey, I'd like to say that this sport looks soooooooo fun to play. Wish I could join a league somewhere, would be hilarious to try in the snow lol
Great video but in my opinion you should have included Waterford legend Paul Flynn's unstoppable free against Cork in the 2004 Munster Final
First time I've seen hurling - I wish we played this in england!
You do play it in England, look for your nearest GAA club online :) there are clubs all over the world!
Just so people know, a shot over the bar is one point and a goal is 3 points, Incase ye end up watching a game and don't understand the points system.
ok why isn't this a thing in the U.S.? Waaay better than American football or even soccer.
Heather Coleman It would suit Americans because it's a fast high scoring game.
***** they would find a way to ruin it with stoppages, advertisements and probably something daft like a laser show
+Heather Coleman we kept it to ourselves for 3000 years and now we are unleashing to the world the greatest game on earth.........
I love this sport. I have played Baseball, American Football and now golf. If I was any younger I would have loved to play Hurling. Guess I was born in the wrong country.
This is fucking MAGIC. The greatest game in the world hands down, bar none. PASSION. Greatest people in the world too.
Shinty for me but Hurlings nae bad!
Fine game and hurling has lost alot of its ground skills
looks good, but I get the feeling, It's one of those sports, that you need to see live, like ice hockey, because it doesn't translate as well on television, difficult to follow the ball/puck. reminds me a bit of lacrosse
I can garentee you that if a soccer player took a hit like that at 3:17 he would probably pretend to die and get one of his teams mates to pretend to revive him just te get a free, cry his eyes out or just look around in bewilderment like what the fuck just happend.
Ciaran Carey's winning point v Clare, greatest winning score imo? epic last 5 mins. think it was nearly 30degrees that day?
Hurling is an amazing art. However here in Kerry people are not generally born with that talent and unless u live in north Kerry or u learn very young, u end up being crap at it.
And do they get paid, the answer to that is ............. Of course not 👌🏻
irish rover they defo don't cos I'm friendly with Timmy McCarthy ex cork hurler and he didn't get paid one penny when he was playing for cork
They do and they don't like they only drive golfs and Renaults and Nissan's
I know right! Imagine playing in front of 80 odd thousand and not earning a penny, jesus talk about being exploited haha.
I prefer chess...
As a Dub of course i grew up a football man. But hurling is defo the bravest fastest most skillful sport on the planet
Nash though 😍 UP THE REBELS!
Agreed
Mark my words limerick shall return too the all Ireland final in 2015 and win luimneach abu
i like ireland
Hot the cats gonna beat tip tomorrow
Unlucky. Tips were incredible.
Looks pretty damn interesting, but it's definitely not a sport for low-res video!
I'm a Tipp man, but 3:30 that Cork defender was one tough mother trucker, he definitely jack-knifed that Limerick player :P
That's Diarmuid O'Sullivan Aka The Rock
That's be him, just wasn't too sure, legend of a player
Ard Rua That's the way it should be too. GAA is gone too much like soccer with everyone diving for frees, which I don't like when you're playing for pride not money. We need more big fuckers knockin the shite out of each other... brute force and ignorance all the way ha ha
David O'Neill Ya I agree in some ways, but the game is a lot more skillful now, and it's great watching players like Joe Canning of Galway and Shane Dowling and Kevin Downes of limerick playing. It would be good to see something like the Black card introduced into hurling.
MikeOxlong IRE I'm not happy in the least with this "look his way and I'll blow the whistle" style, the GAA hierarchy are interfering too much, these guys who spent more time on the politics side of the pitch than on the pitch itself, maybe helmets might have been a good idea, the game is alot more fast paced these days, and the sliotar is moved from player to player more tactically, I think a ref knows what's what, I think a black card on top of the red and yellow is confusing. Next they'll be sin binning, they need to leave the sport alone, do what they do best and let the players do what they do, sell the game around the world.
id like to see if any nfl players would stand there when nash was driving that ball!!
i can imagine we latinos playing this. we probably hit our opponent with the giant spoon.
HD TV was made for hurling. So hard to see the ball during most of this ^^;
Ye well half the clips are from the 90s
Great video. If you make another one (hopefully you will) try to get a few slow mo catches as well as saves and sidelines. Once again quality video
Thanks lad, hard to get my hands on catching and saves. Hopefully I can make one with enough stuff. Anyways heres the part 2, mightn't be as good but sure its hurling! haha Hurling: The Greatest Sport on Earth(Part 2)
Please stop hating people seriouly i respect other countrys spirts people need to have respect for irish sports come on grow up. And i play camogie its one of the fastest facinating sports you will ever play!
It's the exact same thing as hurling...
Top class. Carey's point at 4:10ish was scored in the 70th minute of the game, on a sweltering hot day. Best point to win a game, imo.
green and white till the day I die
Great to see a variety of teams showcased in this video but to promote a sport and claim it to be the best on earth you need to use the best teams and players as part of this video. The Kilkenny team which won the 4 in a row should of featured more in this considering, debatable, that they are the greatest team ever to enter a hurling pitch. However, good video.
Cheers bud, I think I mainly tried to get the best most outrageous scores in the history of the modern game. As far as the players go I think I got it spot on, its difficult to put one of my hurling heroes JJ Delaney in without much footage and as a defender it doesnt make a great video. I think 90% of the scores were possibly the most important or incredible scores of all time. As for the 4 in a row team (apart from Henry Shefflin's score in the vid) there wasnt as many standout moments of the caliber of say Ciaran Carey's point or John Fenton's goal in my view
I see now what you were trying to do with the video. It makes sense now that you tried to compile the best scores! It does make sense that when anyone is promoting a sport they will show the scores rather than general play. Well done sir you have done the sport proud!
SocksRooney Cheers mate!
Wish this sport was more popular haha, I'd love to play it in Australia
Im sure with how many Irish people there are in Australia, you might be able to find a club that plays Hurling
Super job Sean og!
David burkes point fallin over vs kilkenny in leinster final
Cork for the win all day every day
i wish i could give a thumbs up every time I watch it
You can't even see the thing they're playing with.
A match is 70 minutes long with 35 minutes a half
one of those joe canning handpasses won our team a match
Two Hurlers got married today aye what a sight.
After watching this and Gaelic Football, it's very clear where Australian Rules Football comes from/originated.
For the Irish - Aussie Rules is like Gaelic Football in play, excepting a smaller rugby style ball, four goal posts (inner pair = goal, outer pairs = point) and marking, the "Specky" - spectacular catch. Otherwise it plays at about the same speed.
Tom Martin we're aware of aussie rules from the compromise rules series
Except Aussie rules is played by men
Tom Martin Ireland play Australia every year in mixed rules. Its a mixture of Aussie rule and Gaelic football..
Nash ya tank
Tommy Walsh's was sorely missed in this video
Great to see, just a little confused of the lack of video's from Waterford considering they are traditionally the most Off the Cuff hurling team in the country. May not have won a lot of championships but have produced some of the most exciting hurling over the last 15 years. Very surprised nothing from the Waterford v Cork games for the Munster final's in recent years there was in particular some great skill by Mullane, O'Halipin etc... Other than that fantastic job in putting it together :)
Cheers mate, actually put a second video up with a lot of those moments, I tried to include Waterford and Tipperary a bit more in them Hurling: The Greatest Sport on Earth(Part 2)
Jamie Power shup you
+Sean O'Donnell shut up you :)
So you hit a ball with a stick? Big deal.
I live in the states I am the only one in my school that plays hurling or knows what it is. I wish this great sport was more recognized in other countrys other than Ireland and the United kingdom
It's an Irish sport only... There are a few clubs in the UK but never a uk sport it's only and will only be irish
Its unknown in the UK.Technically NI is in the Uk except for county antrim(only nationalists which are a minority in that county).The game is very much associated with irishness and antibritishness
That goal at 3.47 is a thing of beauty...
Any chance you could get the sound back on this. I teach in Spain and use it to show the kids what hurling is. Its a great clip to be fair to ya.
Hi Luke, how are things. I'll see if I can dig up the old video. Unfortunately youtube wont let me post with the old music due copywriting
seanogcarey thank you. If it’s any hassle at all don’t worry. But I show them every year and they were obsessed with it! Thanks again.
its not great you know its more footbal,
As a Cork man I've been lucky to see many great moments, was in the stadium for many of those games but the beating Galway dished out to us that day with Canning's handpass was hard to take, and I know it was at the end of the game but it summed his performance up that day just brilliant
John Fenton's goal (47 secs). Best goal of all time!
sure was, no camera in the world could capture that. Never mind a goalkeeper saving it
I will never forget the 2013 all ireland final, because kilkenny wasnt in it and it was so exciting!
There's hardly any galway shots!
GAAGO now on ROKU in the US!
LIVE MATCHES FROM IRELAND - INCLUDING HURLING, OF COURSE!
looks cool, seems similar to Lacrosse.
I was there when Clare beat cork at the all ireland crok park
Me too :) up the banner :)
Same
GO DUBLIN :P
BTW i play hurling in my school
im irish but i love hockey
Fastest field game in the world
Good job, should have thrown in a few sidelines and saves as well
Cheers lad. You're right, one or two sidelines would of looked good. Sure I may do a new one soon with saves and hits
Most amazing sport on the planet
This music is so original. I've never heard it used for slow motion RUclips videos before.
Great video hi.
Holy God....
What a goal by John Fenton!!!
Anthony Cunningham = My Uncle Ur with a pro here And a sub and a like :)
It's bad without the music
I don't understand the game but great soundtrack and good skills on display!
