Hurling Game

July 10
Today some of us got the chance to go to a hurling game! It was Waterford against Tipperary. Waterford had made it to the finals! It was such a great experience! There were two matches. The first match was the junior match. We were off to a rough start in the first half, but we managed to gain some more points after halftime. During halftime, there was a marching band! I got so excited! It took me back to when I was in marching band. I noticed so many problems though. They were not all in step and the angles of the flutes were terrible. Unfortunately, we lost 22-17. The second match was the senior match. They were also off to a rough start in the first half, but failed to gain a whole lot of points on the board throughout the rest of the game. We had left before the game was over. Tipperary had won with about 30 points. The most exciting part of the game was halftime. During halftime, there were two matches going on between Waterford and Tipperary. This was the younger age division. The kids were playing better than the adults. Although we lost, we still cheer for Waterford. Up the Deise!
