A family from America made some interesting observations after attending their first hurling match in Ireland.

Their comments comes as many Irish people probably wouldn't notice these more quirky aspects of the sport.

The gang attended a league game between Limerick and Offaly in the Gaelic Grounds back in March, and strung together a vlog which was put up in May, CorkBeo reports. Mandi said: "We came late to this game and we couldn't spot the doorway anywhere. Just one giant building with no door. Finally we spot four tiny slits into the building and it was basically like sneaking in."

Tis fast She said: "Our host was very excited that we were going to a hurling game and he boasted that it was the fastest sport ever played on a field, it is true? I don't know. But it did look like it."Lack of pads One of the kids notes: "It's so funny. They have to wear helmets but they wear tiny little shorts and little shirts. Literally nothing else is protected."

Cheerleaders Irish people only really know what they are from either being in the states or from TV. And the Americans notice the lack of them here too, "I don't think I've ever seen a European team with any kind of cheerleader" Mandi said.
