WOW brought back so many memories of my dad playing back in the 60s I went all the time to watch him play from 3yrs up it was exciting and terrifying at the same time, he was a carpenter and made me my own miniature stick and i would run up and down along the sidelines. they were all fit as fiddles
I just started playing hurling! I’m a former ice hockey player and there’s a lot of transferable skills. There’s an interesting TG4 documentary called poc na nGael about how hurling influenced ice hockey. For example we get the term puck in hockey from the Irish word poc.
A 15th-century grave slab survives in Inishowen, County Donegal dedicated to the memory of a Scottish gallowglass warrior named Manas Mac Mhoiresdean of Iona. The slab displays carvings of a claymore, a caman, for playing Shinty, as opposed to Hurling and a sliotar- Roger Hutchinson, "Camanachd! The Story of Shinty," pages 27, 28.
Is there any link between a hurley and a shillelagh ? I ask this after watching Rambling Kern's recent videos on the shillelagh, it made me question why people didn't just bring hurley's to the faction fights, especially if they were held at fairs. Was there a law in the 18thC or 19thC forbidding people from carrying hurley's so they carried a shillelagh instead ?
Interesting. 100% out of my field, but it a very interesting question to ask. Rambling Kern as you said is the man to ask. I would love to know the answer do.
Shame you missed out the kick off 4 guys in the middle of the pitch ref throws in-between the lot of them and fight it out. The goalkeepers hurls, 15 lads per team. Different balls, and hurls, How we take sideline frees, fouls, penalties, how we block shots with the hurls. Hooks, using the hurl to block other hurls while catching the ball the in midair Protectioning your hand. Mate there's so so much :) coming from a very seasoned hurler. But well done 👏
That reminds me of the Dad jokes that I made up for some checky laughter, I suggested the name for my great nephew new puppy I said Booze he looked strange at me then he said why then I said because he's a licker🤨😏🙄😜🤣🤣🤷🏼♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻😯😲😮
@@IrishMedievalHistory I do pay attention to things 😜 it seems everything came be about the same time. I'd like to see France play Hockey with on the someone else home place,😁 instead of them waiting for someone to start trouble 😜🙄😁😡

I didn't realise the sport had spread so far. As I've said before we can't help but view history through our modern times, not saying the Male Toxicity angle itself is useful, but I disagree with conflating the two as there is no such thing as a 100% objective opinion.
@@IrishMedievalHistory Personally I would prefer if you would address papers like this as a separate topic instead of going off on a rant as a tangent that doesn't add to the history you are presenting.
@@IrishMedievalHistory My comment was not based on it going against uni standards, it was based on my views on effective storytelling and using information to build an effective narrative. It is of course your prerogative how you tell a story, but in my view those tangents didn't add to explaining an aspect of medieval Ireland, which, as I understand it, is your primary objective. In my view if you want to talk about modern politics and views on the medieval past it needs a sperate episode, as it is a different topic, to fully explore it, so can be told in a single thought out narrative, as benefits the ten minute length video you tend to make, esp. since modern politics is not your forte.
@@TadeuszCantwell Ya, these are very good points. Just to tell you out right the truth, I work as a English teacher in Japan most days, so I end up with a few hours to make one of these videos So I seen that and just put it in. But your 100% right the goal of this channel is to aim to highlight Irish Medeival history.
In your vocal narration you were out by 2000 years when you said how far back the sport went (in contrast to the evidence on the screen). Then, while half the video was factual history of the sport, the other half was guesses or opinions. Not good 😢
Hurling and Bando, or Camanachd are NOT the same games; it is a modern Irish habit of conflating the three. Leinster Hurling, a primarily aerial game played in the Summer was adopted by the GAA as Ireland's national ball and stick game probably for political reasons. Before Hurling's adoption as the "national" game, Camànacht/Camanachd was played north of a line between Dublin and Galway. Hurling wasn't. The Cloncha gravestone at Inishowen shows a caman , not a hurley. That representation could easily be used by a modern Shinty player and it comes as no surprise to know that the man buried beneath the stone was a Scot. from Iona.

The Sliotar (Ball) was made of sheep hair. The Wife told me after posting this up. Should have asked her early on. haha

Amazing. :) that's a great little story.

A ton back home. Love it.

Love to see that show.

@@IrishMedievalHistory Thanks for replying, it's probably just something as simple as walking sticks were fashionable at the time.
Have you done a video on Gaelic football?
The history of "Ancient Mob football" as it's called in 1308. I'll see what I can do.
@@IrishMedievalHistory yes
I don't think you'd get much of a video out of the bastard spawn of a one night stand between soccer and rugby.
@@kieranfitz 😂 I've no clue. I want to do a reaction video to Kings and generals next since they called us England in the 1400s next.
@@kieranfitz XD
It really looks like the predecessor for golf, baseball, hockey and cricket

Hurling seems to occupy a similar place with the Irish as lacrosse in North America's woodland tribes.
That's very interesting, I'll need to read up on that.
Yes yes yes
Yes.
@@IrishMedievalHistory would all GAA sports be fight training? Handball Gaelic hurling etc all seem rough and ready
@@consean9938 All sports from the medeival era was rough and ready. It's amazing that English football got so soft.
@@IrishMedievalHistory yes lol

In the Turtle island AKA America the indigenous people played a similar game. I think it's called Lacrosse. Later on
Ya I do see many links to Hurling and Lacrosse alright.
