The Wolfhound Guide to Hurling (Wolfhound Guides)

by: Brenda Fullam
Hurling is arguably the oldest field game in the world. In BC 1272 reference was made to a game in which strength, speed, stamina, skill, dexterity, and endurance were the key qualities; no mention is made of frees or fouls, referees or sideline cuts.

Over the centuries hurling has evolved into a more regulated but still exciting and passion-rousing game. It is played in every county of Ireland, and has attracted people from all walks of life.

This special collection provides fascinating information about the origins and evolution of this quintessentially Irish game, as well as its requirements and its attractions, the competitions and grades, the GAA founders, and the great players.
