Report
An Poc Fada – ‘the Long Puck’ is a Gaelic Game where players use a Hurley to hit a Sliotar (ball) up the side of a mountain and down the other side in as few pucks or shots as possible.
The sport would have a similar origin to the Scottish Game of Golf.
Since 1961 when the All-Ireland Championship was inaugurated there have been 13 counties represented on the Hurling Roll of Honour – Clare, Cork, Down, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Roscommon, Tipperary, Tyrone, and Waterford.
The great Cork Hurler Ger Cunningham won 7-in-a-row from 1984-1990 and Brendan Cummins of Tipperary won 5-in-a-row from 2011-2015 and 3-in-a-row from 2006-2008, with another title in 2004 setting a record 9 titles. The 3-in-a-row has also been achieved by Finbar O’Neill of Cork from 1966-1968 and Galway’s Michael Shaughnessy in the years 1994-1996.
