The primary object of a hurling game is the slitter, a small ball that players hit with a wooden stick called a hurley. Players aim to score points by sending the slitter into the opponent's goal or over the crossbar for lesser points. Hurling is one of the fastest field sports, requiring exceptional skill and reflexes. The game is deeply rooted in Irish culture, with a history that spans centuries. Its unique blend of speed, strategy, and teamwork makes it highly engaging.
