FIELD HOCKEY IN ONE LINE
Field hockey is a team sport played on synthetic turf or grass where players use curved wooden or composite sticks to propel a hard ball. Goals can only be scored from within a semi-circular striking circle, making circular penetration central to tactics.
HURLING IN ONE LINE
Hurling is an ancient Gaelic team sport played with wooden sticks called hurleys and a small leather ball called a sliotar. Players score by hitting the ball through goalposts, either over the crossbar for one point or into the net for three.
