What the heck is hurling?

A sport they only play in Ireland apparently. It's been all over the news because today was the all Ireland final. What I've gathered so far is that it's a like a mix between lacrosse, rugby, and soccer but the sticks don't have pockets so you hit the ball. A score of 212 does not beat 18 points and if the game ends in a draw, they play the game again in a few weeks time. I'm totally intrigued.

Here are a few shots of Kinsale where we stayed the first night. Super cute little town that was the site of a major battle in the English conquest of Gaelic Ireland

Supposedly has the best fish in Ireland. Unfortunately it was closed when we got there

First Guinness in Ireland. Isn't it pretty? Tasted pretty good too

Charles Fort, one of two forts built in the 17th century to protect Kinsale.

One of the points of the star that is Charles Fort
