The GAA's audience continues to grow in the UK as yesterday's All Ireland Final was watched by in amazement by fans on Sky Sports.
Kilkenny won the title beating Galway by four points for a record 36th time.
While the historical nature of Kilkenny's win may have been lost on some of the British viewers, they were impressed by the spectacle.
Watching hurling on Sky. Bloke stops another bloke with straight arm across neck. In football, 10-game ban. In hurling, yellow card. Mad.

I have no interest in GAA/Hurling, but I'd recommend you to watch Sky Sports 5 and see a real mans sport. They don't wear Make-up and that

If you've not got the hurling on Sky Sports 5 you really should, it appears to have no rules.

If you have a) working eyes b) Sky and c) a brain then you should be watching the #hurling final. You won't be disappointed.

Anyone fancy a brutal sport, put on Sky Sports 5! Hurling, strange but good game! Could never get into it myself when I lived in Ireland
