One of the greats. Chipped in with some savage points from play as well.

First thing I thought when I saw John McGrath’s goal was how had he that much space… the answer is movement I love seeing forwards constantly busy and keeping their marker occupied like that Great footage from breathing_eire on Instagram

Roll/Jab lift fun game •Head, hands & feet •Hurley flat, fingers should be able to tickle the grass Start uncontested & introduce a tagger with a pool noodle. Once a player has the ball in their hand they can’t be tagged. Tagger can’t leave the circle

Free play might be the most underrated developer in sports. No coaches. No drills. No structure. Just kids figuring it out themselves — inventing rules, solving problems, competing, failing, and adapting in real time. That chaos builds creativity, resilience, decision-making, and a deep love for the game that structured practice often kills.

Jab/Roll lift technique game Scoop the ball over the net/tape. If the opposition player catches it, they get a point, if the ball hits the ground, the lifter gets the point. #FunGame #HurlingMadeEasy
