Trying to describe hurling in words is a bit like attempting to explain a performance at the Bolshoi Theatre to someone who’s never seen ballet, but I’ll try. Fifteen men on each side lash a small cork and leather ball, or sliotar, distances of up to 100m with ash sticks, on a pitch a bit bigger than a soccer or rugby field.
