Yeah I love hurling too! I mucked about with it when I was very small ( my dad was a hurler) and when we moved to the US, we brought our stuff with us. As I got older there was not much opportunity to play on the N side of Chicago(Evanston) so I gravitated to lacrosse. old habits die hard though and I was always near the top in fouls and penalties- “what do you mean I can’t hit him there”?!?😃
