The Game - The Story of Hurling
Agents of Change
Season 1 Episode 2 of 4
The documentary explores eras of great change - not just for hurling but for Ireland as a whole. Newspapers gave way to radio and in the 1960s TV broadcasting began. Hurling had a new medium and new audiences, but the two pillars of an Irish Sunday - church and the match - were no longer the only distractions and Ireland of the late 1960s was beginning to look very different
The Game - The Story of Hurling airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland at 7:15 PM, Sunday 14 June. (Subtitles, repeat.)
