Iománaíocht - Hurling

​The ancient Irish sport called the fastest sport on grass.

Knoxville is blessed to have a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club, that plays the ancient Gaelic sport called “iománaíocht” or “hurling” - Knoxville GAC. If you're unfamiliar with it, Google and YouTube can tell you all about it. Newcomers are welcome to the club. You can play or just watch what all the craic (good times) is about.

Visit their Facebook page. New players need not worry about equipment.
