For the All-Ireland Hurling trophy, it is Liam McCarthy. As a name generally, it can be spelled either way.
A standard Hurling team consists of 15 players:
1 goal keeper
3 defenders lined across the pitch near their own goal known as "full backs".
3 defenders lined across the pitch further from their own goal known as "half backs".
2 midfield players.
3 attackers lined across the pitch far from the opposition goal known as "half forwards".
3 defenders lined across the pitch near the opposition goal known as "full forwards".
The corresponding defenders and attackers mark each other - one full back marks one full forward. The midfielders also mark their opponents.
Hurling is the fastest field game in the world, and very competitive. When going for a ball, other players are also going for it. Your hurl and others may hit against each other in what is known as "The clash of the Ash", because all hurls are made from the wood of the Ash tree. In that situation, your hurl could break.
