In the Dark

The National Hurling League – not to be confused with the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (which follows it and ends in the All-Ireland Final) – started a couple of weeks ago so inter-county hurling has been on the telly recently once more. The League is organized in 5 divisions (1a, 1b, 2, 3 and 4) and the TV coverage usually focusses on higher-division teams . Last week for example, there was a televised game between Cork and Tipperary, last year’s Championship finalists, in Div 1a. Cork won a feisty contest that exploded into a huge brawl near half-time in front of a crowd of over 40,000. Anyway, I was looking through the lower divisions on the web and did a bit of a double-take when I reached Division 4 as I thought I’d got muddled up with the cricket!

Yes, there are two English counties in the Hurling League. There’s also a team from London in Division 3. None of them are doing very well, but if you want to see some live hurling in England you could check out Lancashire GAA, Warwickshire GAA or London GAA.
