Milwaukee Hurling Club is a hurling league that was founded in 1996. Hurling is an outdoor sport of ancient Gaelic origin. It involves sticks called hurls, and a ball called a sliotar. I have never hurled.
The women's version of hurling is called camogie. The two games are basically identical, except in camogie they use smaller sticks. I think this is because women are smaller than men. The Milwaukee Hurling Club is unique because it has coed teams. I support this decision. Coed hurling sounds more fun than single-sex camogie.
Liam just realized he hates hurling.

As long as Milwaukee breweries continue to supply the community with beer, the hurling club will, undoubtedly, be a huge success. Thank goodness they practice outside.
