Hurling.

In Ireland they play a game called Hurling.
They play on a pitch, there are 15 players or hurlers in a team, they are 5 substitutions on a match.
I have to use a wooden stick called hurley to hit a small ball called a sliotar.
The numbers of jersey delimit the positions at pitch, they haven’t changed in decades. The posts, witch are at each end of the fell are H.
If the ball goes over the crossbar is one point but the ball goes over the under the crossbar into a net guarded by a goalkeeper for one goal, which is equivalent to three points.
I have to use the helmet for head protection.
This a physically sport , is very fast and spectacular.
