Croke Park and Gaelic games Last Sunday I went to Croke Park stadium in Dublin to support a little, there was the quarter final of the Leinster hurling Cup and Gaelic football.
Reminder, hurling is a kind of hockey but on grass and with a round ball. To score, you must either pass the ball between the posts above the crossbar (= 1 point), or mark in the cage (= 3 points). Gaelic football, and a mix of football and rugby ball around.
The Leinster cup is a kind of chicken on qualifying the Dublin area, the best teams of each group being eligible to play for the "real" quarter, half and final summer.
The first match was against Dublin Antrim hurling, and ... Dublin has become 22 to 12.
The second match pitted Dublin to Meath, and ... Dublin has emerged once again, 14 to 12. 
Go, finally a small view of the stands, there were 75,350 people at the stadium ...

Grimpeete overlooking the sea anyway. In fact, the beginning of the climb is on the waterfront at the seaside!
