A hurl or a hurley? I always called it a hurley but hurl seems to be the more common word now. I prefer hurley and think it’s the correct term

Well it's easy to get mixed up, but have only ever broke a hurl from pulling too hard, you can put a band around both of them though and both are sometimes referred too as wood or stick.... was deffo the clash of the ash I was thinking of on this rare occasion

It depends on what part of the country you are in. Hurley was the first name but in time it has changed.

And on a similar subject the GAA was always called football and soccer called soccer. Now soccer is called football and football of old is called GAA. That’s does slightly bug me lol

Never really thought about it but... Hurl. Hurley is a common surname in Wexford... Maybe that's why.

I think the prevalence of footie being more commonly called soccer came about because of the rising popularity of American football (or just football if you are American). As kids soccer was always called football and Gaelic was... Well.. Gaelic

Has anyone seen those clips of the American comedian talking about hurling and camogie that are floating around Facebook?? Aside from his general hysteria regarding the speed and skill required in these games, his pronunciation of sliotar is just priceless

This. the idea of calling it a hurl I think is more of a modern fad.

Or when he was talking about the match between Lime Rick and Tipery.

I love his enthusiasm for our national sport though.

Oh, and I always called it a hurley. I've heard it referred to as a hurl lots of times too but for me, hurl is the action you perform with a hurley.
