Hurling and Gaelic Football[home ] [ deutsche version ]football in: [ 2010] [ 1999 ] [ germany] [ africa ] [ asia] [ internet ] [ universe] [ archives]  TheSummer Alternative from Ireland: Gaelic Games: Hurlingand Gaelic Football  gaelic footballhurlinglinks 1Have you ever wondered howfootball (soccer) would look like without offside? Then try to watch the spectacularGaelic games Hurling and Gaelic Football which set their highlights justwhen football (soccer) takes its time out: in the European summer. 2Although the two sportsare also played in clubs, the highlight is the yearly All Ireland Championshipsfor the 33 county selections. Ireland is divided in 4provinces Connacht, Leinster, Munster, and Ulster (which is Northern Ireland).Those are divided again into an unequal number of counties (Connacht 6,Leinster 12 (incl. Dublin), Munster 6, Ulster 9). First the provinces determinetheir champions, then those play off the All Ireland Championship.Those county rivalries arealso a journey into the past for football fans, as passion more than moneycharacterizes the games. 3 Both sports are said tobe very old, the championships in today's form more than 100 years. There had been a certainpolitical element from the beginning, a contraposition against the Englishculture, here Rugby and Football (Ireland was occupied by England and becameonly independent in 1922). A tragedy took place in1920 when English soldiers in revenge for an assault by Irish nationalistsfired into the crowd of a Football game and killed many, known as the 'bloodysunday'.  gaelic footballhurlinglinksback to top GAELICFOOTBALLThe size of the field issome meters bigger compared to football (soccer). You have one goal ateach end, which look quite similar to the ones on football (soccer) grounds. But the two goalposts reach up to the air beyond the crossbar,like in rugby. A ball that goes into the goal is worth 3 points, a ballthat goes across the bar (between the posts) is worth one point.If you see a result liketeamA 2-10, teamB 1-14, it will mean that team A has scored 2 goals and10 points what altogether makes 16 points. TeamB has won because 1 goaland 14 points makes 17 points altogether.Sounds complicated but therest is easy: The match is played with a ball similar to a football twohalfs, 35 minutes each.Both teams have 15 players.It is allowed to touch the ball with hand and of course foot. Allowed areabout for steps with the ball in hands than the ball has to be tipped ortouched with the foot.If the match ends with adraw it will be replayed. The games lacks certainelements of Football (soccer) because of the missing offside and becauseof the possibilty of scoring single points from further distances. It ischaracterized by a big passion and a high unvaried constant tempo.The last 5 winners: 1994 Down (from Ulster),1995 Dublin (Leinster), 1996 Meath (Leinster), 1997 Kerry (Munster), 1998Galway (Connacht) The 1999 province champions: Ulster: Armagh Munster: Cork Connacht: Mayo (viceAll Irish champions 96 and 97, defeated Galway here) Leinster: Meath Those four will play offthe All Irish champions:semi-finals on 22nd and 29th of August:Cork - MayoArmagh - Meathfinal will take place on September 26th. gaelic footballhurlinglinksback to top HURLINGIf you think accelerationis not possible anymore you will find out you are wrong: Hurling is exaxtlythe same but is played with a smaller Ball and a hockey-like batting wood,the 'hurley'. For a non-experienced viewerit remains a riddle that players do not get carried off the field in masses,there is no over-the-head rule or anything. Like in Gaelic footballtouching the ball with hand and foot is possible, by adding the battingcomponent the game becomes breathtaking and even more fast and resultsin slightly higher scores. See GaelicFootball for the rest of the rules. There is only one differencein the mode: A new 'backdoor' modus installed in the 90's allows the vice-championsof Leinster and Munster to take part at the All Irish Championships playoffs.So there are two quarterfinals first to reduce the field of 6 to four teams. The 1999 province champions: Ulster: Antrim (plays Leinstervice-champions Offaly in quarter-finals) Munster: Cork Leinster: Kilkenny Connacht: Galway (playsMunster vice-champions Clare in QF) semifinals (Aug. 15th/22nd)Cork-Antrim/Offaly, Kilkenny-Galway/Clare The last 5 winners: 1994 Offaly (from Leinster),1995 Clare (Munster), 1996 Wexford (Leinster), 1997 Clare (Munster), 1998Offaly (Leinster, benefitted from the backdoor modus) gaelic footballhurlinglinksback to top LINKSAND INFOSIf you have an Irish pubin your town, it might be possible to watch the matches, usually on Sundayafternoon Irish time, there. The TV company Setantatakes over the pictures from Irish television and offers sattelite picturesto bar owners worldwide. In Europe it is possibleto watch Setata on a French telecom satellite which does not carry anyregular TV stations. Of course you need a satellite dish that you can turnto that direction then.Also they offer real-audio and real-video live-streamingThe most important link otherwiseis the one to the Gaelic Athletics Associationwhich has all the important news and archives material available yet. © The Shot That Passed Right Through The Net.
