Summary: Hurling

Key dates:

The formation of the GAA in 1884 created a new interest in Gaelic games. Hurling also became popular in rural areas, particularly in the Glens of Antrim. The photograph shows the Kilkenny team c.1911-1912 with their hurleys. These were made out of ash by local craftsmen.
