    Hurling.
    We play hurley in the usual way. Fifteen boys are selected, and one of them is the captain. A referee is selected also. Every boy plays in a special place in the field. The goalkeeper in the goals, the fullback just outside the goal, the left and right backs each side of the full back, and the forwards who play at the opposite end of the field are in the same position.
