Hurling - help?

JuliusCaesar

I've friends coming from abroad who've said they'd really like to watch a game of hurling during the weekend they are over. I know nothing about sports, and have no idea how to find one. I don't think it needs necessarily be a big match, could be a local friendly. I presume a GAA Club would be the place, but I've no idea where they are :rolleyes:

Somewhere in Dublin, where we can just turn up. Are there any regular places we could go to? Saturday or Sunday?



(Oh yeah, is there anything special I should know about the rules that they might need explained? )

Why don't you take them to try it out for themselves: http://www.experiencegaelicgames.com/

Could be a lot of fun!

Find out which is your local club & then search for the fixtures here.

When are they over? There may be a decent match on they could go to see.

Dublin club league match fixtures can be seen here.

I'd strongly advise not just going to a club match though as the atmosphere won't be great. Especially for supporters of a novel sport to them, the atmosphere is crucial.

Thank you very much all - it doesn't look like there are any big or even adult match on in early April, but the websites are really useful. Not enough visitors for the GaelicExperience though!

I would give them a call anyway if you're interested. They'll usually try to pair different groups of friends/families together to make a big enough group.

What dates are they over?
