Back in 70s when traffic was non existent (almost) they would throw over bends in roads and you would suddenly have a cannonball descend out of nowhere and bounce towards you. Had that happen once while in parents car and ball bounced and skipped under the car banging loudly as it did. No health and safety in 70s. At school we played Hurling with no safety gear of any form. I won’t go in to details of stuff we did in chemistry at school .. no goggles, no masks, no gloves etc etc. This was from area I lived in Durrus is nearby where I visited regularly. I lived between Bantry and Clonakilty.
Looks like a fucking monty python sketch :) why is this the firt time i'm hearing about it, and they've been doing it 10 mins away from me in essex for the last 100 years! it was a good craic
They say it came with the French when the landed in killalla bay long story 😂 and the French soldier played it along the sand roads with a small canon shot and the call it bulleting in Mayo how it got to Armagh and cork who knows how the feck anything gets to cork jazess chrisht and and Armagh how anything gets out of there alive who knows 😂😂😂😂😂
@@orbitalcheese6969 Not cool dude. You do realise some girls are born with horizontal hair lines on their knees, that kinda resemble eyebrows. Brownies 😂 (I just wasted a small portion of your life and there's no way you can get it back).
It's not illegal, you just need permission from the garda if it takes place on public roads. Also there is usually a police presence even at planned events because there can be feuds between families
There is a set course and which ever of the two competitors completes it in the shortest number of throws wins. They take their first throw from the same point and take all subsequent throws from where their last one stopped.
@@CalgarianMike That's right, and if there is a tie on the number of throws it is who ever throws their final throw furthest beyond the finish line who wins. There are two techniques, in Armagh they don't swing it around like they do here in the Cork style.
@@TheIrishNationLives Now I get it.... would love to try it some day. It was starting to take hold in the mountains of WV here in the states but it just stopped all of sudden
Most Irish sports seem to be about maintaining complete nonchalance in the face of the risk of extreme injury.

Grand!!
I'm assuming beer might be involved.
No tv in those days 😂😂😂
🤣🤣 brilliant!
Why do they run and jump throwing the stone
Cause the ball's made of iron
Because if you hit yourself in the back of the leg swinging you will know all about it
I just learned this is still an illegal game to this day lol wtf

Anyone here from the TikTok lol
There’s no winners u just play to play ig
Why the sissy jump? Anyone?😆
Somebody in the comments said it's so you don't hit yourself in the leg with it, because the ball's made out of iron.
Looks fun, but I still can't make out the point or scoring.

@@TheIrishNationLives So it's basically like golf, just here you throw the balls. Funny throwing technique :D
