A lot less violent and far more fascinating than the famous Russell Crowe ditty ‘Fightin’ round the World’.
In Ireland, we love to tell the rest of the world how great the game of hurling is and in fairness, when foreign visitors sample the small ball game for themselves, they’re rarely disappointed.
There are few better ways than promoting the game on a global scale than by playing the game in far-flung places and that’s the basic premise of ‘Hurling around the World,’ a video put together by former Wexford hurler Diarmuid and featuring some of Ireland’s best-known hurlers as well as Irish sporting megastars like Paul McGrath and Brian O’Driscoll.
World Sports Team presents ‘Hurling around the World’ – long version from info@worldsportsteam.org on Vimeo.
An excellent advertisement for hurling with a great soundtrack (that’s Le Galaxie’s Love System for any of you wondering); fair play to Diarmuid and everyone involved.
