Akron Celtic Guards Hurling ClubUnless you're from Ireland, you've probably never seen this sport before. People are more likely to know the rules of Harry Potter's fictional Quidditch game than hurling, a sport that's been around for centuries -- if not millennia -- on the other side of the Atlantic. The easiest way to describe hurling is, it's a cross between ice hockey meets rugby meets soccer, with a little baseball thrown in there,First-timers notice right away this is a sport that's hard to pin down -- maybe because every time the ball is in play, a throng of men clash sticks, legs and shoulders to scoop it up and send it downfield.Hurling is one of the fastest and most skilful field games in the world. It is an ancient Gaelic sport, played long before thecoming of Christianity. The earliest written record of the game is contained in the Brehon Laws of the fifth century. The firstgreat hurling hero was Setanta whose legendary adventures are known to most Irish children. The game was banned by theStatutes of Kilkenny because of its popularity with the Normans.
