GUEST,Learaí na Láibe Origins: What are 'the hurley and the bowlin''? (17) RE: Origins: What are 'the hurley and the bowlin''? 04 Nov 16

Road Bowling is pronounced "bouling" in Cork, rhymes with "fouling" and "howling".

That distinguishes it from other forms of bowling. "Ten-pin bowling" would be pronounced in the conventional manner by most.

Hurling is not a very dangerous sport despite what non-followers think. You'll get bad bruises regularly, but serious injuries are very rare. Long-term injuries are the same as suffered in all field sports -they are caused by over-training and over-stressing the body -not by blows of the hurley.
