As you can see the game certainly changed since 1904. How would you like to play in the long skirts? It would certainly slow things down. Deviatrix - Hello and welcome.

@ Magpie,

So Grannymar can look forward to absolutely no romancing from November to April, is that it?

I wonder if all of her toyboys suffer from this condition in Winter?

Did you ever hear the old expression “When the frost is on the punkin, that’s the time for dickie dunkin?”

Magpie, sounds like the lack of balls in use in winter by the cricket club could explain a few things. Interesting to learn the differences between field hockey (which I loved) and camogie.

One of my brothers played hurling and it was fast and dangerous. I kept well away when they were swinging those hurley sticks. Magpie,

Over here Lacrosse was played at Girls' Schools..... At my school the girls played Hockey and the boys Rugby Union Football... from whence American Football developed I'm told. I was also told that Hockey was invented by a Cricket Club who wanted a game to play in the winter...their balls were not in use during the winter. These games with sticks all seem to be fast and furious. Who was it said something about the female of the species?
