May You Flick Your Opponent's Hurley? That's One of the Differences Between Camogie & Hurling.

There are very few differences between the two games. The following are the main differences:
Playing gear:
¨ All Camogie players, including the goalkeeper, must wear the same jersey. The goalkeeper in Hurling must wear a distinctive jersey.
¨ Skirt/divided skirt/skort is worn in Camogie
¨ Hurling: Shorts are worn
Sliotair:
¨ Camogie: Weight: 90-110 grams Size: 21cm in circumference
¨ Hurling: Weight: 110-120grams Size: 23-25cm
Scores:
¨ Camogie: Handpassed goal is allowed
¨ Hurling: Handpassed goal is not allowed
Frees:
¨ Camogie: 45 metre is awarded
¨ Hurling: 65 metre is awarded
Dropping the hurley:
¨ Camogie: Hurley may be dropped to handpass the sliotar provided it is not dangerous to do so
¨ Hurling: It is a foul to drop the hurley to handpass
Solo:
¨ Camogie: The sliotar may be taken twice into the hand from the hurley regardless of how the player gained possession
¨ Hurling: The sliotar may only be taken once into the hand from the hurley if it was already caught with the hand
Tackling:
¨ Camogie: Shouldering is not allowed
¨ Hurling: Side–to-side charge is permitted
Flicking of Hurley in the air and on the ground
¨ Camogie: A player may flick an opponent’s hurley from the ground or in the air with her own hurley
¨ Hurling: It is a foul to tip an opponent’s hurley up with a player’s hurley or foot. It is also a foul to tip an opponent’s hurley in the air
Yellow & Red Cards
¨ Camogie: Red cards only are used to send a player off for dangerous play. The player is then dealt with by the Committee in charge of the competition
Players may be sent off for the duration of a game for persistent fouling/dissent. The player’s name is noted by the Committee in charge of the competition and should this player be sent off on a second occassion for the duration of a game, she will have to appear before the Committee in charge.
¨ Hurling: Yellow card for first bookable offence
Red card – to dismiss a player after he receives a second Yellow card
- straight Red Card for dangerous play
