About Scottish Shinty

Shinty (also known as Camanachd) is the Scottish version of Hurling and Camogie, played mostly in the Gaelic-speaking Scottish Highlands. It has both Men’s and Women’s Leagues and Cups, and also University and Underage Competitions. It is 12-a-side, played with a stick and ball like in Hurling, but with no point-over-the-bar, just goals.

Poc Fada Golf

About

Poc Fada is the Irish version of Golf, whereby a player uses a hurl or hurley to hit a sliotar of ball up the side of a mountain and down the other side in as few pucks or goes as possible. It is mentioned in the legend of Setanta, whereby the hero uses his hurl or hurley to hit the ball over the Cooley Mountains in Co. Louth on his way to a feast of the King of Ulster in Armagh.

Poc Fada Golf is the brainchild of Julian Gaisford-St. Lawrence, whose family built Howth Castle, and uses the same principle but on a golf course, with bigger holes. It is aimed more at families as a day out, and it doesn’t take as long as Golf to complete a round. Each hole has a par as in Golf.

It is in the tradition of other GAA Compromise or International rules sports, such as International Rules Football (Gaelic Football & Australian Football), Hurling-Shinty (Ireland v Scotland), Handball-Pelota (Ireland v Basque Country), Rounders-Baseball (Irish teams v American teams) and Hurlacrosse (Hurling teams v Lacrosse teams).

The course was opened in 2015 at Deer Park Golf, in Co. Fingal (North County Dublin), and is run under the stewardship of Humphrey Kelleher, the chairman of the National Poc Fada Committee.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar Playing Stickball Choctaw Nation 2018

Report

Stickball is a Native American (Choctaw) sport similar to Baseball. The Choctaws gave Ireland a consignment of grain during the famine as they could identify with the starvation. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar paid the first ever visit by a sitting Taoiseach to the Choctaw Nation on St. Patrick’s Day 2018, and played a bit of Stickball.

About Roller Hockey

Roller Hockey is the National Sport of Portugal, and is a version of Inline Hockey (or indeed Ice Hockey or Bandy) played with Quads (four wheels – one at each corner of the skate) and a ball rather than a puck. Roller Hockey has been played in Ireland since at least 1910. The National League in Portugal is the top league in the World, featuring such teams as the giant soccer organisatons FC Porto, Benfica SL and Sporting Clube de Portugal.
