Experience Gaelic Games in Dublin, Ireland Travel Video Transcript:
I'm here in Dublin, Ireland to check out Gaelic Games. I know very little about them so this is going to be a lot of fun. I'm going to learn a lot. I absolutely know it.
Hurling reminded me of lacrosse except it is even faster. My hockey and baseball skills came in handy when it was time for me to give it a go.
To me a good goalkeeper say if I told anyone younger it takes a lot of confidence and like it is one of these things if something goes wrong you forget about it. If you let a bad goal in, you forget about it. And you have to be very verbal to the lads. Say, someone guard him, someone go over here, someone take that shot. And the last thing I'd say is pretty much just practice. Practice. Like I nearly come down here everyday. Even touching the hurl and the ball just getting used to it and then like your reactions comes into play. As I'm getting older I'm finding that my reactions, I'm reading the ball is getting a lot better. So that is pretty much the main points I'd say to anyone.
Okay, and last but certainly not least it's time to learn some Gaelic Football.
I was especially keen on learning as much as I possibly could about Gaelic Football considering I had a big match to attend the following day.
My name is AJ Murphy and I play for NA FIANNA GAA. My main sport is hurling and I used to play a bit of Gaelic Football too.
The great thing about football is that is a mix of all sorts of sports - rugby, soccer, basketball - all mixed into one. So it is like high scoring? Uh, definitely. Like you could have maybe three or four or five goals a game and then you might have thirty or forty points so it is a high scoring game. You're always on your toes. And it is a contact sport as well too? Oh yeah, that's the great thing. So you have to be bulky bulky. Always in the gym lifting weights and whatever so as well as playing. You look good as well. So it's good.
Alright, that training session was awesome. I'm a bit sweaty. Time to go back for a shower and get ready for the big game tomorrow.

All-Ireland Senior Gaelic Football Championship in Dublin, Ireland Travel Video Transcript:
The big day has arrived. It's Kerry versus Dublin. I've got my ticket. Now it is time to check out the game.
For the longest time I've been very indecisive as towards who to cheer for. But I finally made a decision. I'm going for the underdog Kerry. Let's do it!
First up was the minor championship. Guess what? Kerry won!
It was now time for the main even - Kerry versus Dublin. The final itself was incredible. The rapid action and skill of the players was evident. It's easy to see why Gaelic Football is the most popular sport in Ireland.
I only wish the weather cooperated as it was raining for most of the game.
Both teams put in a solid effort but in the end it was Dublin who won the championship.
I finally found a quiet spot here on the train bound for Belfast. And I still can't believe what I experienced at that stadium.
82,000 plus crazy fans all going nuts over a game. And I have to admit I still don't know a lot about Gaelic Football but it is something that has definitely peaked my interest and I hope I have an opportunity to experience another game in the future.
