    Check out this Quote from George Bernard Shaw the irish poet/dramatist:
    "Rugby is a game for gurriers played by gentlemen,
    Soccer is a game for gentlemen played by gurriers
    And hurling....Is a game for Gurriers played by gurriers!"

    Thats our national sport yo!

    I've only played a few sports, but I'll give this a go.
    Hockey: Decent, could play all positions, but I was too small to play defence after the age of 10 or so. Was an ok forward, could score/hit/fight/play well defensively. Edit: I was a damn good goalie.
    Football: Subpar. Was a good wide reciever, I could catch almost anything, but I lacked both size and speed.
    Boxing: Shit beyond shit. Never competed but I was basically a human punching bag with decent power in the few sparring sessions I had. My defense was ok (relatively speaking), but I had a hell of a time slipping punches and getting inside (I never sparred with anyone who wasn't at least a couple of inches taller than me), and nobody ever bothered to show me how to do those things. The more I think about it, my trainer was about as good at training and I was at boxing. It was fun, and I want to get back into it, but god I sucked at it.

    hahaha...I played hockey AND lacrosse because everyone was so small compared to the football players (which I didn't have a problem with either) but you check an ice hockey player (average size 5'7-6'0 170-190) and it's just soooo simple and painless....whereas you pull and slam into a 3 technique (average size 6'0-6'4 250-330) in football and you feel it for a while.....seperated my shoulder doing that, my teammate in practice was 6'5 330 and I slammed into him and was stopped cold.

    See Monkey me n ten of my mates meet up pretty regularly for a kick about, now these guys all play for the local team, and although their not as fit as me they've got skills i cant even dream of!
    But then one day it all went wrong for them when i showed them Ward v Gatti and they decided to try boxing....They came to the gym and after 2 sessions they were allowed in to spar me on the condition i would use my jab only....Mwahahahahahahahaha

    I always fancied myself as a golfer and to be fair could play a bit. I'd always get bored though and wind up smashing balls in any direction other than at the pin

    I used to do this little party trick and flick the ball up with the back of the putter and then clobber it baseball style. One day it went pear shaped and flew into the family picnic area at our loccal pitch and putt. I didnt hang around to find out if I damaged anyone

    Basketball very good played for the national under17s 3 times,
    Boxing good but not great took it up a bit 2 late i think.
    average at quite a few other sports tennis, table tennis, cross country, football,badminton karate, competed at all of these but was never great at any of them.
