Setanta Sports.

I have just got back from holiday to find a letter from Virgin saying that my monthly payment is going up by £1.50 for my existing package but that they have now included Setanta sport as well free of charge. Which was quite interesting as I was able to watch a Newcastle friendly match on Sunday afternoon with a commentary that sounded as though it had been relayed from Washington USA and not St James Park two miles down the road. Mind the few minutes of that peculiar game called Hurley that I also watched seemed quite interesting. A bit like an extremely violent version of hockey crossed with Rugby.

 

 

It's called Hurling, Hurley is that fat bloke on Lost that hasn't lost any weight despite being stranded on a desert island for weeks/months. Hurling is a fantastic game, I went to a match while I was over there last month and the speed at which it is played is breath taking. Apparently it's the fastest field sport in the world and is only played by lunatic irishmen hell bent on whacking the s**t out of each other !

Hurley is also that posh totty that used to knock about with Hugh Grant.

I thought "hurling" was what happened as part of the social side of a Rugby match.
