Hurling is an awesome game. Pity it isnt very popular outside of Ireland.

Yes it is...there are 4 teams that play in the Sydney comp and they are made up of Irish people living here.
Its a great spectator sport!

I was very impressed with the game. If you haven't got anything planed for the 6th of November then I encourage you to go.

Then I caught the end of the ING cup match between NSW and SA which we won with a ball left.

What a great day.

Played a game against some British Touring school team the other day... softest blokes I have ever played. I dont think any of them have ever taken a hit before, and they sure as hell live up to their tag of bitching like crazy. Not a fan of the game, if there was some tackling it would be good, too soft.
