[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Gaelic Football is a field game which has developed as a distinct game similar to the progression of Australian Rules.

The ball used in Gaelic Football is round, slightly smaller than a soccer ball. It can be carried in the hand for a distance of four steps and can be kicked or "hand-passed", a striking motion with the hand or fist. After every four steps the ball must be either bounced or "solo-ed", an action of dropping the ball onto the foot and kicking it back into the hand. You may not bounce the ball twice in a row. To score, you put the ball over the crossbar by foot or hand / fist for one point or under the crossbar and into the net by foot or the hand / fist in certain circumstances for a goal, the latter being the equivalent of three points. Each team consists of 15 players.

My 4 kids play. I love it because it is so fast paced. I don't have any photos like these - what lens do you use?

Thanks everyone for looking and your comments.

Macushla, these were shot with a Canon 300mm f/2.8IS mounted on a 1DMKIII, some where with a 1.4 tc attached
