Gealic Sports

Last weekend I visited Dublin. I had a really great time over there. I did a lot of fantastic things, but there is one thing I would recommend to all of you guys visiting Ireland. Going to a game of Gaelic Sports.

For 25 euro I bought a ticket for a day of Gealic Sports at Croke Park in Dublin. This is a magnificent stadium in the north of Dublin.
With its capacity of almost 83000 people it is one of the biggest stadiums in Europe.

We (me and my friends) got to the stadium at 13:30 and it wasn't really loaded with people, but while the time passed more and more took a seat in the stadium. The first match started at 14:00 and it was Hurling. An amazing sport, its looks like a sort of mix between hockey, baseball and rugby but it isn't. There is one big pitch, two teams of 15 players, a lot of sticks and lot of screaming fans. I can tell you that it's a wonderful combination.

After this great match of a sport I've never seen before, I was really looking forward to the next game. The second sport on the programme was Gaelic Football. This was even more popular among the locals in Dublin, we were watching with almost 80000 fans. Gaelic Football is again a sport that is only played in Ireland. It is super fantastic!

I am so excited to tell about these sports, but the only way to know what I mean is experience it yourself.

So get your ass to Croke Park and cheer for Áth Cliath (Dublin Gaelic sports club)
