Ronaldo would shit his pants if he came up against any our our boys!
a good friend of mine was over visiting from Kent and I found Hurling on TG4 - he's a cricket fan and he went into shock!

Hurling is a brilliant game and needs a huge fitness level. I remember Emelyn Hughes saying he had never seen anything like it. Soccer players are only pussies in comparison.

Brilliant video FiFi. Puts the professionals to shame.
yeah - I was asking my OH about if they get any payment, and he said that even when they get sponsorship, a large part of that goes into the players fund! And all the injuries etc! You're right - they do put the professionals to shame
