The old skool version of the game must have been near identical to shinty/old skool hurling. Interesting how what were essentially the same sport a few centuries ago have evolved into very different streams, particularly over the course of the 20th century.

Howāve gone so far today
Be a much better sport if it morphed into ground hurling. Adrian Fenlon wouldāve won us Gold at the 96ā and 2000 Olympics.
