Archived (PDF) from the original on 19 August 2019. Earlier this week, we considered some of the reasons for the trend towards high-scoring games in hurling. In speech, a score consisting of at least one goal and one point is read as simply the two numbers, so Tipperary's 2–13 is read "two thirteen"; the words "goals" and "points" invariably omitted. Goals are never "converted" into points; it is incorrect to describe a score of 2–13 as "nineteen". 2–0 would be referred to as "two goals", never "two zero". Likewise, 0–10 would be referred to as "ten points", never "zero ten". 0–0 is said "no score". So the Clare/Tipperary match score would be read as "Clare twenty points, Tipperary two thirteen". the "hook", where a player approaches another player from a rear angle and attempts to catch the opponent's hurley with his own at the top of the swing When the digital sliotar is introduced - this will have to be approved by Central Council - it will mean that the day of the 'bag of balls' is over as all match sliotars will then be supplied by the committee in charge.

Tennis changed from white to yellow balls because they were easier to see for players and spectators. The term “hurl” is generally used by people from the Dublin-area. The term “hurley” is generally used more widely across the other counties in Ireland. What size hurl do I need?

You'll be able to see a small white ball if your vision is good under good conditions, so against a blue sky. Kennelly’s studies have proven that someone who is colour-blind is highly unlikely to make the grade as an inter-county footballer and hurler.In the early 2000s, the GAA experimented with using sliotars with rubber rather than cork cores; however, it was found that using a rubber core led to a more unpredictable bounce, and moved a lot faster than a ball with a cork core, especially in wet conditions. It was decided to return to a cork ball because of this. [6] While different sized sliotars are used for different ages and codes (with, for example, senior camogie games using a "size 4" sliotar, and senior hurling a "size 5" ball), [9] some claims have historically been made of non-standard balls being used to gain a perceived advantage in competition. [10] [11] References to hurling on the North American continent date from the 1780s in modern-day Canada concerning immigrants from County Waterford and County Kilkenny, [28] and also, in New York City. After the end of the American Revolution, references to hurling cease in American newspapers until the aftermath of the Great Famine when Irish people moved to America in huge numbers, bringing the game with them. [29] Newspaper reports from the 1850s refer to occasional matches played in San Francisco, Hoboken and New York City. The first game of hurling played under GAA rules outside Ireland was played on Boston Common in June 1886. New English-Irish Dictionary - hurling ball". focloir.ie. Foras na Gaeilge .

The ball, known as a sliotar, has a cork centre and a leather cover; it is between 69 and 72mm (2.7 and 2.8in) in diameter, and weighs between 110 and 120g (3.9 and 4.2oz)

Wall Balls - The wall balls are little lighter in weight and hence is being used widely for training and practising catching and striking by hitting against a wall. These are manufactured by using artificial leather which is moisture resistant. A hand pass is when a player throws the sliotar slightly up in the air and slaps it forward with their hand. What does a “ground strike” mean in hurling? The goalkeeper's hurley/hurl usually has a bas (the flattened, curved end) twice the size of other players' hurleys to provide some advantage against the fast moving sliotar Hurling is administered by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). It is played throughout the world [ citation needed] and is a fixture of life in many parts of Ireland. Hurling has some popularity among members of the Irish diaspora in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Dubai and Argentina. [1] It has featured regularly in art forms such as film, music and literature. The final of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was listed in second place by CNN in its "10 sporting events you have to see live", after the Olympic Games and ahead of both the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship. [2] After covering the 1959 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final between Kilkenny and Waterford for BBC Television, English football commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme was moved to describe hurling as his second favourite sport in the world. [3] Alex Ferguson used footage of an All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final in an attempt to motivate his players during his time as manager of Premier League football club Manchester United. The players winced at the standard of physicality and intensity in which the hurlers engaged.

[1] Financial Times columnist Simon Kuper wrote after Stephen Bennett's performance in the 2020 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final that hurling was "the best sport ever and if the Irish had colonised the world, nobody would ever have heard of football".

The ultimate solution rests in the GAA regulating the sliotar production process so that the optimal balance - and consistency - is achieved across all variables and production processes. But over time, it became clear that some unapproved manufacturers were using the stamp of approval illegally. Some approved manufacturers were placing the stamp on sliotars that would not pass the tests, either deliberately or because they could not sufficiently control the manufacturing process. In the meantime, a return to what Derek McGrath calls the traditional "blood and thunder championship approach" and weather warnings of various colours could soothe the purists with lower scores this weekend. these specifics can vary from region to region and by local demand, for example, if there are too few registered children under 6 years old, a club may not have an under 6 team. It's exactly the same for hurling and camogie. Tennis and camogie are very comparable when you compare the size of the ball and the conditions they play in.
