About Hurling

Hurling is an ancient Gaelic Irish Sport, and one of the four Charter GAA Sports of 1884. It is played with a Hurl or Hurley (stick) and a sliotar (ball) and is one of the fastest team sports in the world. It is 15-a-side and Goals (worth 3 points) are scored as well as points (over the bar – worth one point). It is organised on a Club and County basis like most GAA Sports and has County, Provncial and All-Ireland Championships. Within both Club and County Championships there is the Hurling League (usually run over winter) and the Hurling Championship (usually run over summer). There are about 12 Top Level (Division 1) Counties that play for the Liam McCarthy Cup, as well as the Christy Ring Cup (Division 2), and Nicky Rackard (Division 3) and Lory Meaghar Cups (Division 4). Outside of Ireland there are 14 Counties that also play Gaelic Football and sometimes Hurling, with London, Warwickshire and Lancashire taking part in the lower levels of the All-Ireland Championships.

About Rounders

Rounders is an Irish and British version of Softball and Baseball, and thought to be the ancestor of both. It was first codified in Ireland as part of the Original GAA Charter of 1884, but not organised until 1958. It is a Bat and Ball (also known as Safe Haven) sport whereby the batter attempts to hit a ball thrown at him or her by a pitcher or bowler and then attempts to run around the bases back home.

Report

Ger Cunningham of Cork won his seventh All-Ireland Poc Fada Championship in 1990 with a score of 61 pocs, one shot ahead of Tommy Quaid of Limerrick on 62.

About Poc Fada

An Poc Fada – ‘the Long Puck’ is a Gaelic Game where players use a Hurley to hit a Sliotar (ball) up the side of a mountain and down the other side in as few pucks or shots as possible.

The sport would have a similar origin to the Scottish Game of Golf. It is mentioned in the myths and legends of Ireland, when Setanta took his Hurley / Hurl and hit his Sliotar all the way from Co Louth to Co. Armagh in one go. The All-Ireland Poc Fada Championships have taken place in the Cooley Mountains in Co. Louth since 1961 in commemoration of the legendary feat.

Report

Quarter-Final – Corofin 3-8 Fulham Irish 1-4

Fulham Irish raced out to an early lead, scoring a goal from Marty Hughes, and a point in the first four minutes, but Corofin replied with two goals in quick succession from Jason Leonard and Colin Brady to stamp their authority on the match. Ian Burke added another goal for the Galway side as they went into the half-time break leading by 3-3 to 1-3. There were less scores in the second half as both Corofin and the Londoners built up their wides tallies, however the lack of competitive mactches meant Fulham’s early hopes of a surprise win were dealt a fatal blow. Corofin won by 10 points in the end, 3-8 to 1-4 to book a semi-final spot against Moorefield.

The Senior Mixed All-Ireland Championship has been run since 1990, and currently is run on a Round-Robin League basis, with the top four reaching the Semi-Finals.

Report

Cork’s Ger Cunningham picked up his sixth All-Ireland GAA Poc Fada Hurling Championshop in 1989, but he was pushed all the way on the downhill part of the course by Galway’s Michael Shaughnessy, who surprisingly picked up on the downhill side and finished equal with Cunningham on 57 Pocs. In the event of a tie the distance past the finish line of the Final poc decides the Champion, and in this case it was Cunningham who won, managing a distance of 18 metres to Shaughnessy’s 3 metres. [Reference: 2]

About GAA Poc Fada

An Poc Fada – ‘the Long Puck’ is a Gaelic Game where players use a Hurley to hit a Sliotar (ball) up the side of a mountain and down the other side in as few pucks or shots as possible.

The sport would have a similar origin to the Scottish Game of Golf. It is mentioned in the myths and legends of Ireland, when Setanta took his Hurley / Hurl and hit his Sliotar all the way from Co Louth to Co. Armagh in one go. The All-Ireland Poc Fada Championships have taken place in the Cooley Mountains in Co. Louth since 1961 in commemoration of the legendary feat.
