Song
Sleepy-head

Listen to the song.

Put the verses in order.

Gaelic football is a mixture of football, volleyball and rugby! There are

15 players in a team. They can run with the ball, then they kick it into
the goal, or hit it with their hands. My brother plays in our towns team.
Its a fast and dangerous game, and the players dont wear any helmets!
I love watching it! Gaelic football is also popular in Australia and the
USA, and in other places where there are a lot of Irish people.

I play in an under-14s hurling team. Hurling is similar to hockey and

baseball. We use sticks called hurleys to hit a small ball, but we can hit
it high in the air. We like playing energetic games in Ireland! There are
15 people in a hurling team, and the goals are similar to rugby goals.
Hurling is an ancient game. Its 2000 years old!
There is also a womens version of the game called camogie.
