All this activity was at it’s most intense in February and March 1921 when the fight was really taken to the British all over Cork City and County. In all thirty three members of the Third West Cork Brigade were killed in the period from August 1920 to July 1921 when a ceasefire was called. Eighteen Volunteers were killed in the just over two months from January 17 th 1921 to March 22 nd. Three of these were arrested and shot by British troops and three more Volunteers were shot in their beds.Yes. If the sides are level at full-time and still can't be separated after extra-time, the decider will go to a replay which will take place on Saturday 5 August at Croke Park. Team news and preview The sides met in this year's National League final on 9 April when goals from Gillane and Barry Nash helped the Shannonsiders clinch a convincing 2-20 to 0-15 win. The smart money suggests the outcome will be a lot closer three-and-a-half months on.

At great risk to both life and limb, and well aware of the dire consequences of his possible capture, Hurley arrived at Barry’s bed-side and brought with him some books to occupy his good friend together with precious ammunition for the Colt automatic pistol that Barry carried with him at all times. Hurley was heavily disguised and had walked the last twelve miles only to be greeted by his astonished friend with the line “”you lunatic what brought you in here”. After a player has committed a foul, the other team may take a 'free' at the point where the foul was committed. It must be taken by lifting and striking in the same style as the "65". Same query to Aidan Falconer in Kilkenny: "Oh Jaysus, good question. You've young fellows coming in, 12, 13, 14 years of age, they know it all, they want this size, that size, this shape, that shape." The legendary DJ Carey in 2000 We went from talking about self-sufficiency to talking about a potential total eradication scenario, says Daly. The GAA is working with agencies around breeding ash for tolerance, but trees take decades to grow. "So in the interim something is going to have to be done. The likelihood - and it’s beginning to happen already - is other materials will be used to make hurleys."

INSERT TITLE HERE

In speech, a score consisting of at least one goal and one point is read as simply the two numbers, so Tipperary's 2–13 is read "two thirteen"; the words "goals" and "points" invariably omitted. Goals are never "converted" into points; it is incorrect to describe a score of 2–13 as "nineteen". 2–0 would be referred to as "two goals", never "two zero". Likewise, 0–10 would be referred to as "ten points", never "zero ten". 0–0 is said "no score". So the Clare/Tipperary match score would be read as "Clare twenty points, Tipperary two thirteen".

Provided that a player has at least one foot on the ground, he may make a shoulder-to-shoulder charge on an opponent who is in possession of the ball or is playing the ball, or when both players are moving in the direction of the ball. A mere 50 years after his death, on 16th May 1971 the Charlie Hurley Park, Bandon was officially opened. The grounds were dedicated to the memory of that same Charlie Hurley who was a local legend of the 1920’s in the fight for Irish Independence. Charlie was Commanding Officer of the Bandon Battalion West Cork Brigade and tragically he was to make the ultimate sacrifice of laying down his life for his Country on the 19 th March 1921. From 1 January 2010, the wearing of helmets with faceguards became compulsory for hurlers at all levels. This saw senior players follow the regulations already introduced in 2009 at minor and under 21 grades. The GAA hopes to significantly reduce the number of injuries by introducing the compulsory wearing of helmets with full faceguards, both in training and matches. Hurlers of all ages, including those at nursery clubs when holding a hurley in their hand, must wear a helmet and faceguard at all times. Match officials will be obliged to stop play if any player at any level appears on the field of play without the necessary standard of equipment.

And while the sport continues to thrive, the craft will too.

Again, that's above my head, I'd probably have no say on it anyway, but from a players' point of view, the sacrifices that inter-county players make nowadays is fairly frightening."

The vast majority of the wood is imported,” says Tony. “There’s ash being cultivated in Ireland at the moment, but it’ll be eight to 10 years before it comes on stream so about 90% is imported, mostly from Poland.” King, Seamus J.

Not much is written about a great Irish Patriot who fought with such distinction in the War of Independence called Charlie Hurley. The intention of this dedication is to ensure that when the young players in our great Club meet, train and play in our grounds, Pairc Cathal Ui Muirtle or better known as “Charlie Hurley Park ”, they will have some idea of who the great man was, of his time one hundred years ago, and ultimately of the great contribution and ultimate sacrifice he made for his locality, his County, his Country, in the overall fight for Irish freedom.However, Kilkenny will not get caught up in any debate about potentially being the saviours of hurling with their only motivation ending a fallow eight-year period since the county's last triumph - a virtual eternity for the Cats. Verdict: Scotstown Munster SFC semi-finals Dingle (Kerry) v Clonmel Commercials (Tipperary); Semple Stadium; 1.30pm There are very few products in the world that have to take the abuse a hurley takes in a competitive game. You only realise that when you have to start looking for something other than ash," says head of operations Sean Torpey (pictured). Synthetic hurleys made by companies like Cultec, Mycro, Azzurri and Reynolds Hurling have also become increasingly popular in recent years.
