Tallow GAA Club

Our club is located in the town of Tallow in West Waterford in Ireland. Within this page we will help you to understand our national games, give you a brief history of our club, tell you about our club. But first some information on the four games catered for by the Gaelic Athletic Association - An Cumann Luthchleas Gael. Our Games Hurling An ancient game played with stick and ball, hurling is one of the fastest field games in the world. Men play in teams of fifteen. Women play camogie in teams of twelve. The ball may be struck with the hurling stick, kicked, or struck with the open hand but may only be lifted directly from the ground using the hurling stick. The hurling stick may be used to dispossess players when they release the ball from the hand. Physical contact is allowed, shoulder to shoulder. Gaelic Football Gaelic football is played by women or men in teams of fifteen. The ball may be carried for up to four paces and then bounced or released to the toe, kicked, or struck with the open hand or fist, in any direction. When played by men, it may not be picked directly from the ground. Physical contact is allowed, shoulder to shoulder. Camogie Camogie is the native field game akin to hurling, played by women and girls, and is renowned for skill and speed, for personal enjoyment by the player and for appeal to the spectator.
