The longest game of hurling
The Cloughbawn GAA in Wexford hosted a 24 hour game over the summer, a feat that landed the game in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Joe.ie, a “man’s stuff” website from the Emerald Isle, posted a story this week about a County Wexford, Ireland, hurling club that went the extra mile.
Well, not the extra mile, but the “extra time” by hosting a game that lasted 24 hours. The guys should be doubly proud of themselves, since they also managed to nab a spot in the upcoming Guinness Book of World Records for their feat of sportsmanship
According to the article, the game included 46 players and ended with a score of 217-324 to 220-286. That all adds up to a match with 975 points scored by the winning team and 946 for the losers.
If you think your goalkeepers are moody, just imagine how awful those goalkeepers felt after a game like that.
