What do you need to play camogie?

Not much equipment is needed. Players just need boots, socks, shorts and a shirt. Some players, mainly goalkeepers, will wear gloves to get a better grip on the ball. The only mandatory safety equipment is a gum shield. Other than that, you just need a ball and a place to play. Ideally, it would be a proper Gaelic Football pitch with lines and goals, but like any ball sport it can be played anywhere, like in a garden or a park or a beach.

What is a hurling stick made from?

w.This will depend on the nature of the break. One option is to get a car windscreen adhesive and put it in the break, this is the normal glue you would find in breaks. Bands can be found on building sits or you can buy a roll on the net, but they are usually pricey A broken hurley can be held together with a metal strip. However this is not always advisable as the strip can become detached and be a danger in itself. Even with a strip, the hurley may still get further damage. It is better to replace a damaged hurley. Or you can get it repaired by someone who knows what their doing and will fill the crack with proper glue for hurley cracks and put bands across the boss to strengthen the crack. Most hurleys get stronger after being repaired properly and it is very rare that it would break in the same spot. But if a hurley is not repaired properly it will not be as good as it once was. And with a new hurley costing 25 euro and a repair only 5 euro. Clubs spend 100s of euro on hurleys every year.

Who is the best hurling player in the world?

I have seen all the great hurlers of the last 25 years and in my opinion, the greatest of them all was D.J Carey...No one had his multitude of skills.Considering how up close and personal some defenders got with him, to do what he did on the hurling field was a huge achievement. He was easily the best finisher the game has ever seen. I happened to be present at a championship game (I was supporting the opposition!) where he gave the greatest individual performance I have ever seen... He had everything...Pace, anticipation and despite what some might say; he was a hardy so-and-so! Consider these men...Brian Whelahan, Sean McMahon, Brian Lohan, Liam Dunne, Brian Corcoran for one second! These are all time greats of the game...Did Christy Ring ever play against that standard of player...I very much doubt it...

He was playing in the most competitive championship that (sadly) ever was...When will Offaly have a better team...My own county Galway, had fine teams during Carey's playing days but they couldn't bring home the silverware. All I hear from people (especially Cork people) when I mention him as the best ever is he never did it in a final...That is frankly wrong! So...he failed to score in the 99' All-Ireland final... Virtually every forward that day had poor games...Seanie McGrath had a great match...Does that make him an all time great! Damien Quigley had a stormer in the 94' final...He did very little after that! Nicky English had one great final and he was playing Antrim in 1989...That is no disrespect to English...He was one classy performer...Just that a career can not be defined by a performances in a final.

Looking back at the best defense that Carey would of had to face during his playing days, I think of the Clare team from 95-99...They had one of the best keepers that has ever played the game and 6 great defenders...Carey got only 2 chances to score goals against them in championship games...He scored both of them. Considering the circumstances, his goal in 1997 was the greatest I've ever seen... D.J Carey is an all time great and if Christy Ring and Mick Mackey were better, then they must have been some players...We'll never know but those who continue to argue so vociferously that Ring was the best ever- never actually saw him play...Now work than one out!

Hurling is the National game in which country?

Hurling is a field sport played with a stick and ball, loosely similar to field hockey and lacrosse. Hurling is the fastest field game in the world. It is also one of the most skillful games in the world. The game is the national sport of Ireland, where it is predominantly played. It will also be found in parts of the world where a lot of Irish people live, who then set up clubs and teams. The "Irish Diaspora", which refers to the large number of Irish outside Ireland, has created opportunities for hurling around the world. So much so, that London and New York are considered "counties", along with the 32 counties in Ireland and Northern Ireland, in the All-Ireland competition in September.

Although it is a huge sport in Ireland, the game is strictly amateur. Although the biggest match of the year, the All-Ireland Final, is played in front of a crowd of over 82,000 spectators and broadcast on TV, radio and the internet to an audience of millions, the players are not paid. They all have day jobs, and play for the love of the game, which in fact enhances the way they play as they are more loyal to their teams.

Hurling is played on a pitch approximately 137m long and 82m wide. If you were to take a soccer goal and a rugby goal and stick them together, you would have the type of goal that is used in Hurling. Getting the ball over the crossbar scores 1 point and getting it into the net scores 3 points.

The stick, or "hurley" or "hurl" (called a camán in Irish) is curved outwards at the end, to provide the striking surface. The ball or "sliothar" / "sliotar" is similar in size to a hockey ball but has raised outer seams.

You may strike the ball on the ground, or in the air. Unlike hockey, you may pick up the ball with your hurley and carry it for not more than four steps in the hand. You cannot pick it up directly from the ground using your hand. After those steps you may bounce the ball on the hurley and back to the hand, but you are forbidden to catch the ball more than twice. To get around this, one of the skills is running with the ball balanced on the hurley, which is called a "solo".

Each team consists of fifteen players, lining out as follows: 1 goalkeeper, three full-backs, three half-backs, two midfielders, three half-forwards and three full-forwards. Each player is known by his number, making the sport a "humble" game since player names are not printed on the jersey.

Goalkeepers may not be physically challenged whilst inside their own small parallelogram, but players may harass them into playing a bad pass, or block an attempted pass.

Teams are allowed a maximum of three substitutes in a game. Players may switch positions on the field of play as much as they wish but this is usually on the instructions of team officials.

Officials for a game comprise of a referee, two linesmen (to indicate when the ball leaves the field of play at the side and to mark '65'' free kicks and 4 umpires (to signal scores, assist the referee in controlling the games, and to assist linesmen in positioning ''65' frees). A "65" is awarded when a defender knocks the ball over his own end line, similar to when a corner is awarded in soccer. A free, in line with the point at which the ball crossed the end line is taken 65 metres from the end line.

A goal is signalled by raising a green flag, placed to the left of the goal. A point is signalled by raising a white flag, placed to the right of goal. A "65" is signalled by the umpire raising his/her outside arm, and standing at the point where the ball left the field. A lines man will move to the corresponding point on the 65 metre line to indicate where the fee is to be taken from. There is no "offside" in Hurling, like in soccer, but a 'square ball', is when a player scores having arrived in the 'square' prior to receiving the ball, is signalled by pointing at the small parallelogram.

There are far more rules in the game. A good idea is for you to look at these 3 videos which are part of a set explaining Hurling. See the links below:
