Summary From the mists of time and borne out of myths and legends, Episode 1 of THE GAME brings us the birth of hurling and of the hurler. What does hurling mean to those who play it, those who watch it, those who live and breathe it. And not just for players and fans, what does hurling mean to the Irish nation as a whole - to our history and our sense of identity. Charting the beginnings of the GAA alongside the turbulent times of the Land War and mass emigration, this first episode lays the groundwork on which a treasured national sport was founded. Whether it's the ultimate dream of representing your county in Croke Park or the tribal pride of playing for club and parish, it's clear that with picking up a sliotar and hurl comes a true sense of belonging and of being a part of something bigger than you.
