Irish football

One of the most interesting things I saw in Ireland was a sport called Irish football. Irish football is a combination of rugby and soccer. Two teams try to get a football like rugby. They then have to run, pass or kick the ball towards a goal on the end of the field. The player can then shoot the ball through the goal, for three points, or kick it through the goal posts for one point. It is a very rough sport where hard tackling is allowed as long as it is not malicious. My favorite part was when a player got leveled by another player. The re was no penalty however because the referee thought is was a good rough shoulder.
