Product Information

They talked long into the night and Hurley relayed to Barry about an unsuccessful ambush at Gaggin, just outside Bandon where a local Volunteer was killed. As always Hurley was guilt ridden over the loss of life and was questioning his own planning of the ambush. He spent hours mulling over each detail of the ambush with Barry until his Commander could confirm that he was indeed blameless. Much of that night was given to the actions of the then Bishop of Cork, Bishop Cohalan who had at that time published an Excommunication Decree and denounced the Volunteers and their activities. Both men worried about the effect it would have on the Volunteer’s and their morale as the Bishop’s remit extended from Cork City all the way to Bantry. Religion and the Catholic Church played a very big role in most of these men’s lives and now the Bishop was forcing them to give up the struggle they were actively engaged in, or risk being booted out of the Church. A perfectly executed Brian Hurley mark shortly after tied this uninspiring Cork football final for the eighth time.

I just can't highlight enough the amount of effort we put into it from our side. Players, just say in an All-Ireland final, if he was wrong done by, it's very unfortunate with the amount of sacrifice that player has made for the whole year.

A goal is scored when the sliotar is hit under the cross bar and into the goal between the goal posts. A goal is worth 3 points. That’s why the McCauliffes have templates in-store for the senior players they supply, so that they can custom-build each one to the player’s preference. Willie is in his 70s now. Things have changed in the sport and, by association, in the family craft since he started the business. Tony says the trend towards customisation is a change, as is the style of hurley favoured. Championship will look after itself in the time it comes. We've to put full focus on this weekend. We've one win out of three, so this weekend is big for us. Now, long-established Clare-based hurley-maker, Torpey Hurleys, are also making hurleys from bamboo, with a number of inter-county hurlers opting for what Torpey are calling their ‘Bambú’ hurley.

Hurling ( Irish: iománaíocht, iomáint) is an outdoor team game of ancient Gaelic Irish origin, played by men. One of Ireland's native Gaelic games, it shares a number of features with Gaelic football, such as the field and goals, the number of players and much terminology. The same game played by women is called camogie ( camógaíocht), which shares a common Gaelic root. Connolly was their outlet when they squeezed the last drop of patience out of their opponents and forced either a turnover or forced an inadvisable shot from distance. The artist DJ Carey: "The hurls have developed, the bas are bigger, the hurl itself is shorter but the bas is bigger.

It’s gone global, completely,” he says. “Last week, I was sending hurleys to Germany and France. There’s Irish lads all over the world, and wherever you’ve Irish lads, you’ve hurling. It’s nearly as big outside the country as it is inside now.” A minute into injury-time, Hurley, from the hand, nailed a free from just outside the 45-metre line to put the Haven in front. It was the first time they had led since the 27th minute.

OVERVIEW

Players will have different preferences,” he explains. “They might want it narrower here, a bit more timber there, or they’ll want a big handle or a small handle, or heavy or light. Hurleys are all about personal preference. Scoring is achieved by sending the sliotar between the opposition's goal posts. The posts, which are at each end of the field, are H posts as in rugby football but with a net under the crossbar as in football. The posts are 6.4 m apart and the crossbar is 2.44 m above the ground. 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." For Nemo, a rare county final defeat. In this the club’s 28th county final appearance, the two-point loss represented just a fifth county final defeat.

Catching the ball three times in a row without it touching the ground (touching the hurley does not count) 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.”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. I was taken off by the manager for trying a ground stroke and warned not to do it again," he said. For shame.

Everyone would like to be working with something from their own country, but it’s just not available at the moment,” he says. “To be honest you wouldn’t see any difference in quality. We’ve plenty of ash and business is good, so we can’t complain.”
