Kilkenny is the most decorated county in hurling, with more All-Ireland titles than anyone else, and this guided session gives you an hour on the grass with a stick in your hand and someone who actually knows how to use one showing you the basics. You'll learn the grip, the lift, and the strike, and you'll find out quickly why hurling is considered one of the most skilful field sports in the world. No experience needed. Helmets and hurleys are provided. It runs in Kilkenny City, and groups of all ages and fitness levels have done it. A couple of things that would sharpen this considerably: the name of the guide or the GAA club running it, where exactly it meets, how long it runs, and the price. Right now it reads honestly but a named guide and a specific pitch location would do a lot of work here. "Meet Seán at Nowlan Park car park at 10am" lands differently than a general city reference.
