Gaelic Football

Gaelic football is played by teams of 15 on a rectangular grass pitch with H-shaped goals at each end. The primary object is to score by driving the ball through the goals, known as a goal or by kicking the ball over the bar, this is known as a point. The team with the highest score at the end of the match wins. The female version of the game is known as ladies' Gaelic football and is very similar to the men's game with a few minor rule changes
