People who use the word a lot tend to abbreviate. So hurl it is

Dublin, camán when I was playing growing up but usually called a hurl by people involved in the game and hurley by others. As in "I'll wrap this hurley around your f****in head"

Not all Munster use the term 'hurley', here in North Tipp it would very definitely be referred to as a hurl.

Back when I played in the late 80's it was hurley and from Galway.

North Kerry likes it's hurling. Didn't Galvin also play hurling?

He was a great hurler also. Great hurling down in North Kerry. Have seen few matchs there.

I'm from Dublin & it was always called a hurl... I even remember seeing one when I was growing up there...

I once went out with woman from Baltimore - the real one in America - and when I told her that my favourite sport was hurling, she did not speak for about a minute :-)
