County Rejoice he is a huge Cog in this Clair side we said car had a great response to the goal but now CL have responded brilliantly again great couch Dar fitzg trying to get away from David mcer the

right at this stage of an Ireland final to have that Fitness he went straight down the middle that’s his third from play ball rolls in trip down and the referee has blown his whistle as the ball was rolling towards the Clair goal now it’s a black card anywhere for a start is this a goal scoring opportunity absolutely is it inside the large rectangle it’s a big decision now to be made by Johnny Murphy and indeed his umpires [Music] he’s given the fre which is the correct decision but I don’t think he’s Tau about the Black Card Patrick Horan could well go for goal at the hill 16 end five players on the goal line including the keeper ER Gilligan and he sends that over the bar jaist Jed underneath it Sim man gets more involved again he’s caught with BR colan go in search of two more

  1. never seen hurling in my life.Watched Keano show Nev and Cara hurling,youtubed it ,came here.Its like rugby and cricket combined and badass,brilliant. Just explain the scoring,Football net and rugby posts to me and the how the offside rule or knock ons work

  2. I watched these two sides meet in a semifinal back in 2005. I had no idea what I was watching, but a friend got us tickets. It was amazing.

  3. Clare deserved champions and fair play. Every big call went against Cork. The referee and other officials, in my mind, got quite a few calls wrong and all against Cork. A munster official should not be officiating a game with two Munster teams. Most definitely, when he's only living a few miles from the Cork border and stopped his home county completing a historical five in a row. An Clar deserved winners all the same and worthy champions.

  4. Can anyone recommend a video that explains the rules, I don't know anything about or why it was on my feed but I watched every second.

  5. My young 5 year old here in New York said “Daddy why can’t they use a tracker so I can see the ball on Tv like golf” haha What a game , I missed it live , was working here , the talent is amazing now in hurling back home , Up Cork!!!!

  6. I don’t know anything about this game. I’m an Australian and love our Aussie rules but this looks fantastic. What the name of the league and what months does the season run.

  7. Learned about hurling in Limerick back in 2022, even had some players show us some stuff. Cut to now, where I’m watching hurling highlight videos while fiddling with my hurly 😂

  8. Hoggies free at the 92nd minute . The mental focus and composure to put that over to keep cork tipping on. Pure class. Hurling is the greatest sport of all time . I love Ireland

  9. From an Hurling Challenged American. .. what a game .. the clutch shots nailed at the end after all that running .. impressive

  10. This is the first time I've ever watched this sport of hurling. I gotta say it's an exciting game. A lot of action and crowds get into it. I like how they act like professional after they score.

  11. OK, this is a highlights reel, but the pace of a full match is hardly less hectic. To think these guys are amateurs. The intensity of the play, the levels of skill and athleticism on view, would shame many an overpaid professional soccer or rugby player.

    Talk about 'action-packed'; hurling makes American football with its commercial breaks, timeouts and huddles seem funereal.
    GAA sports are Ireland's best-kept secret. Any Muslim 'asylum seekers' in a leading side, or is that yet another haram pastime?

  12. I saw my first hurling match on in 1994 or 5. I think it was on Fox. It's hard to catch a full match in the US. Wonderful sport. This was a tremendous match.
