Football is a fast paced game played with a round ball roughly similar to a soccer ball by teams consisting of 13 a side in the States. Gaelic Football can best be described as a cross between soccer, basketball and rugby.
Hurling is another fast paced game played with wooden axe-shaped stick called a hurley or hurl (in Irish a camán, pronounced "kam-awn") to hit a small ball called a sliotar (pronounced "slitt-er") between the opponents' goalposts either over the crossbar for one point, or under the crossbar into a net guarded by a goalkeeper for one goal, which is equivalent to three points.
People of all backgrounds are welcome to play with us. Those unfamiliar with the sport are encouraged to come out as well. Our Club is family oriented with all ages welcome to come out and give the sport a try, we will have no problem teaching you the fundamentals and basic skills of football and hurling. We also welcome those would like to come just to hang out and enjoy the social side of the club!
