Pres students reinvent the game of hurling - Kilkenny Live

Two Kilkenny students have developed a novel idea to hone the skills of hurling players in Kilkenny and across the country. Presentation Secondary School students, Orla Walsh and Olivia Dunphy have created a sustainable hurling training aid which aims to promote hitting the centre of the hurl, or the 'sweet spot.'

The hurl has a hole carved open on the boss with a net attached. The pair's project, known as 'The PerfectPuc', hopes to help consumers develop a cleaner strike, and more importantly, 'inspire a love of hurling in young children all over the country.'

The origin of the idea stemmed from the school's TY Mini Company initiative, with the girls ability to think outside the box and develop an out of the ordinary invention, garnering much attention from their schoolmates.
