Gaelic football
The Irish play football, and they are good at rugby, but they also play Gaelic football. This kind of football comes from a traditional Irish game.
Gaelic football is an exciting game. It has elements of football and rugby. You play it with a round ball, like a football, but the players can use their hands.
There are strict rules. The players can touch the ball, but they are not allowed to throw it. They have to pass the ball from hand to hand to other players. They also have to bounce or kick it when they run with it. They have to score goals to get points for their team.
In Gaelic football the players do not wear special clothes. They put on shorts, T-shirts and trainers, but they don’t need any special equipment like helmets or gloves. To play the game they don’t use sticks, bats or rackets. They just need a ball.
The first international tournament took place in 1886 in Ireland. However, today Gaelic football is quite popular in the USA and Australia.
