World Record
Sunday Sept 30th saw 33
boys & girls from the Abbeyside GAA Club enter the Guinness World Record
Books when they participated in the Largest Hurling Lesson which took place in
Croke Park. The previous record stood at 577. Tickets scanned we entered the
pitch with 40 plus clubs from around the country. The hooter sounded for the
start of the record attempt, 20 drills and 30 minutes later the hooter ended
the session. Back up to our seats in the Cusack Stand where we waited for the
news, the record was smashed when the Guinness World Record adjudicator on the
night announced that 1,772 kids trained all at the one time and for the 30
minutes required. Valid attempt and great excitement greeted the announcement,
well worth the trip and a great day was had by all. Well done to all who helped
make this a great memory for the boys & girls.
