James was great. This was a bucket list thing for my husband. He is a HUGE Kilkenny hurling fan, and to get coached and play a bit in Kilkenny was a dream come true. Thank you

After a short video and discussion about the history of hurling in Ireland, James took us out to the pitch to teach us the fundamentals of the game. It was so much fun and we're now definitely fans! Learning hurling in Kilkenny is part of the whole experience and James was passionate and enthusiastic. Highly recommend!
