If your sporting interests are not particularly wide-ranging, it may have escaped your attention that a major sporting event took place in Ireland today.
To be fair, as far as most of the world is concerned, this is a fairly minority interest sport, but it attracts large local audiences and major media coverage.
Although the rules are somewhat complicated, I think the name of the game tells you all you need to know.
The event was sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Irish Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Here are a few images of outstanding moments from last year's final.

I had no idea! I'd pay good money to see that! Fascinating how far they can hurl the apparatus! And here, all this time, I had the notion that a hurling contest was to determine how far a contestant could up-chuck (vomit/throw up) how silly of me!

I guess it's a good enough time to be had as long as you're not the hurlee.

Most of you think Graeme is joking around. But I've actually played in one of these tournaments. I'll never do it again, too much pain when you land.

@jkuvakas And all this time I thought the Highland Fling was a Scottish dance.....

The Highland Fling is indeed a Scottish dance, which was later also adopted by Ireland.
Regular participants acquire a taste for the seductive pleasure of temporary weightlessness.
Some devotees do persevere into their later years
but there comes a point when the more attractive option is to volunteer to become a senior hurlee, where once again they can enjoy those wonderful weightless moments with less personal exertion.
Pictured below is Miss Agnes McTavish, the proud winning hurlee of yesterday's competition.
Unfortunately there were allegations of sexual impropriety in the hurling technique employed (ah, these woke times we live in) so the victorious hurler wishes to remain anonymous until the matter is resolved.

@perrone1 I had no idea either Tony. It's obviously a very popular sport there; they even have their professional grade cheerleaders!
....and of course the groupies, as per Graeme's last post.

The Highland Hi-Flying Flingers. Man, they are wonderful! Impossible to turn away when they're in-flight!

This is a pic of hurlee Miss Agnes McTavish in the County Bodyjarren Acute Care Facility. Agnes proudly displays the trophy she won yesterday, having broken a record number of bones upon her blue ribbon hurlee landing; besting the 2024 record set by John Kuvakas. When asked for comment Agnes stated that she had always said her hurler Seamus O'Flinger was a real tosser!

Well, I'm glad some of you appreciated the sporting images.
Photos of these impressive and seductively mobile kilters are becoming harder to access now that our much-loved (and heavily-trafficked) Kilt Porn website has been forced to introduce strict rules restricting access to bona fide members of highland dancing teams, tartan garment manufacturers, investigative behavioural psychologists and the registered blind.
But I have connections, and have managed to sneak out a few choice shots. Enjoy.

Oh, no, no, please NO!
Soft porn is one thing but grossly obscene, stomach-turning images is quite another. I literally can't bear to look.
