Spóirt/Sport

In Loch an Iúir we play lots of sport. Our local GAA club is Naomh Mhuire and many children play football for them.. Keadue Rovers is the soccer team and Tír Conaill Rugby Club is close by. Last week we were beaten in the final of the Tag-Blitz. The whole team played very well.
We have also started hurling this year and we have taken part in some indoor hurling blitzes. Michael Glover comes and coaches us on a Monday and Dáithí has taken the infant classes for a few coaching sessions.
Hurling is an ancient Irish game. It is played using a Camán, hurley, made from ash wood and you hit a leather Sliotar(ball). Everyone now must wear a helmet. It is one of the fastest field games in the world.
KILKENNY are the present All Ireland Hurling Champions.
