"Your French humour is very unusual."
Do you like hurling? Do you like Galway? Do you like irritating French presenters? Well, you won't believe what we have for you. TV station beIN Sports France made the trip to the west coast of Ireland to sample the most pure Gaelic culture it could find and it couldn't have done that without the help of Jean-Baptiste Goupil who... well, we'll let you make your own mind up about him. The French presenter visited Cathal Mannion's club, Ahascragh/Fohenagh, to try his best with the small ball and hurl and he was given a tough time of it by the local Tribesmen who didn't hold back on him. He was lucky enough to catch a game too but here it is, the French take on Irish sport.Sunday Goupil#58 - Le HurlingSport Gaélique - Episode 2. Après une recherche de trèfle infructueuse, c'te coup-ci on m'a envoyer plus vigoureusement y regarder de plus près! Suite logique du foot gaélique, voici le Hurling: deuxième sport le plus populaire d'Irlande. De type viril! Assurément!Des thank iou, tout plein à Estelle Albira Salzard, MCA Communication, Tourism Ireland, Irlande... Laissez-vous emporter: www.irlande-tourisme.fr#Topette!
