- An Camán – The Earliest Hurley
The hurley is mentioned in a number of Irish folk tales, such as that of Setanta, which date from pre-Christian times. Many of these were first written down as far back as the 9th century. Setanta’s stick may have been made of ash, yew or even oak, all of which were used in ancient times to make hurleys. The importance of the player was known by the quality of the hurley and how it was banded. Copper, bronze, silver and even gold were used, depending on the wealth of the hurler.
