The Game - The Story of Hurling
The Quest for Perfection
Season 1 Episode 3 of 4
A look at the quest for perfection in the game as Galway's breakthrough in the 1980s gave way to Ger Loughnane's winning Clare side in the 1990s and Kilkenny's fine-tuning of the pressure game in the 2000s. Tactics and fitness took on entirely new dimensions and the rise of sports science elevated the standards expected of teams. The programme also examines the women's game and the battles camogie has had to fight to be recognised in its own right, and look as what the dawn of social media meant for the sport and the men and women who play it
The Game - The Story of Hurling airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland at 8:00 PM, Monday 7 July. (Subtitles, new.)
