In Freshford, we give visitors the opportunity to experience hurling at Kavanagh's Pub, a classic Irish style pub in the center of the village.
Here we give visitors a presentation information them of the history and rules of Hurling. Once visitors are up-to-date on the basics of Hurling and what it means to the community, we bring them out onto the green area to try the sport for themselves. Our coaches teach visitors the ground-stroke, hand-pass, solo-run, and hand strike. Visitors will realise that this sport isn't as easy as some of the top players make it look.
Use of hurl and ball

My favorite Irish adventure/activity! We had an amazing experience with John who taught us some fundamentals as wee as the rules of the game.

We and especially our kids enjoyed the intro into Hurling a lot. James was a great instructor and even our youngest (7 years) picked it up very fast.
Highly recommend it to everyone interested in Irish culture / sports.
