Hurling

Japanese: ハーリング(英語表記)hurling
Hurling
A ball game that has been played in Ireland since the 15th century. The game is played by hitting a ball with a wooden stick, aiming for a goal. It is considered the origin of hockey, and the rules are similar to those of hockey and soccer. The stick must be used to hit the ball, but it is permitted to stop the ball in the air with the hand.

アイルランドに 15世紀頃から今日まで伝わる球技。競技方法は,木製のスティックでボールを打ち,ゴールをねらうもので,ホッケーの元祖とされ,規則もホッケー,サッカーにほぼ近い。ボールを打つときには,必ずスティックを用いなければならないが,空中のボールを手で止めることは許されている。
