Sport

In Ireland both Hurling and Gaelic Football are very popular sports. Hurling is more common in the countryside, while Gaelic Football is typical of cities. In the area where we have been during these three weeks, almost all Irish of our age spend their afternoons at the pitch of the village, either entering or watching their brothers or friends training. Also, I’ve been to a lot of games because Rebecca referees whenever she can. Our girls do not practice hurling, but camogie, which is almost the same sport only in the women’s mode. They only difference in rules like in hurling the only part of the body which they can hit the opponents are the shoulders and in camogie is the hip.
