Fullam, Brendan. Hurling is arguably the oldest field game in the world. In 1272BC reference was made to a game in which strength, speed, stamina, skill, dexterity, and endurance were key qualities; no mention is made of frees or fouls, referees or side-line cuts. A treasure for anyone who wants to know more about this quintessentially Irish game. Softcover, 88 pages.
