Regarded ...Well you have me dreaming ,again Gerry.<br /> Regarded as the quintessentially Irish sport, or Best game in the world, Hurling is a emotion at play.<br /> Together with her fashions, her accents, her able literature, her music, her dances are also her pastimes. One more forward new vision , that would have learned from soccer, is that the greatest potential of growth in a sport is in young girls playing.The Christian Brothers saw the promotion of Gaelic games as an essential part of their educational philosophy.Hurling is also a love for a beautiful past and part of a different era, the Celtic tigresses.Timothy Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626399091447383952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-26536796624239022332010-08-18T23:08:16.782+01:002010-08-18T23:08:16.782+01:00I was at the Cork/Kilkenny semi- final and the Bla...I was at the Cork/Kilkenny semi- final and the Black cats were immense. It was effectively over as a contest by half time. <br /><br />Henry Shefflin is out for the final but I don't think it will effect the outcome. I think it will be five in a row for county Kilkenny. And their minors annihilated Galway at Croagh park that day also, scoring 32 points.<br /><br />I've no doubt Antrim will be amongst the top hurling counties soon, maybe within five years. In Kilkenny, as you'll know, hurling is so ingrained into schools and youth activity that they really show what it takes to make it to the top in the sport. And their fans know it too. They were giving Cork a mighty ribbing on the Hill.<br />I was in amongst the rebels and I was trying not to laugh lest I get a puc in the jaw for my troubles.<br />One player broke his caman in half whilst entering the fray. It was all great craic and the Cork fans have seen it all in Hurling.<br /><br />Enjoy the Final Gerry. I don't think I'll go. But like you, I'll be there when Antrim do it and I can only anticipate the emotion that will be involved in that. It will be like Nirvana. And one day you'll be presenting that cup, I hope.Michealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310793974335095318noreply@blogger.com
