Gaelic

Gaelic, along with Hurling was started in 1887. It is one of of the four Gaelic Games, along with Hurling, Handball and Rounders.

Rules of Gaelic
An Inter-County Gaelic match usually lasts 70 minutes (35 minutes each half). If a match is drawn after the 70 minutes it goes to extra time. If it is still a draw after extra time, it goes to a replay (another match is played). If the replay ends in a draw, more replays happen until a winner is decided.

Scoring
There are four umpires (two at each goal), one with a White Flag, and one with a Green. The White Flag gives you one point while the Green Flag gives you three.

A point is scored by kicking the ball over the crossbar (the goals are exactly like Rugby posts, only with a net).

A goal is scored by kicking the ball into the net.

An example of a Gaelic scoreline is Team A: 2-15 (21 points) and Team B: 4-16 (30 points), Team B won by 9 points.
