Be a Guid Sport!
BE A GUID SPORT! TEACHERs BOOK Be A Guid Sport! This workbook “Be a Guid Sport” covers a range of sporting and leisure activities associated with Scotland and Ulster which could be used either by P.E. teachers or by teachers of other subjects as an extension to work on some of the other Ulster-Scots booklets. The Pupil Booklet includes research tasks, classroom-based work and also some physical activities. The Pupil Booklet is divided into 5 sections: Team Games; Highland Games; Street Games; Winter Sports and Golf. “Be a Guid Sport” is a companion to the “Birlin roon tha Flair” booklet on Scottish Country Dance. In this Teachers Book some additional information is provided along with answer sheets and also assessment grids. Some of the activities will enable P.E. teachers to address aspects of Communication and I.T. and to contribute to pupil assessment of these skills. Shinty The purpose of this section is to introduce the game of shinty and to encourage pupils to see its links with hurling. The stretch of sea between Northeast Ireland and Southeast Scotland might seem like a barrier to us today. In ancient times, however, when roads did not exist and journeys across land were hard and dangerous, the short sea crossing was a much easier way to travel. As a consequence people have been moving backwards and forwards be- tween these two areas for as long as we have knowledge. Settlers from Ireland brought the sport of hurling to Scotland over 2000 years ago. Shinty appears in the legend—the Ulster Cycle— of the Celtic hero Cúchulainn but it has become associated with Scotland while Ireland is associated with hurling.

This is not surprising because we arefed aconstant diet of these four games by the various elements of the sports media. The improving sports book industry is also dominated by publications devoted to the big four. Other than Kieran Shannon’s recent Hanging from the Rafters,there are very few sports books that examine the social dimension behind the facts of sport. TheAmericans have led the way in true sports history. These writers not only produce the facts of their topic but explain them in the context of their time. A new book, Gold, Silver and Green: TheIrish Olympic Journey 1896 to 1924 by Kevin McCarthy was published by Cork University Press last week. It is a book thatcan sit comfortably on the history as well as the sports bookshelf. This book ex- amines the stories and circumstance of over 75 Olympic medals which werewon by Irish-bornathletes in the Olympics prior to 1924. The num- ber is even greater when you in- clude those of Irish parents who were born abroad.

Play 12 3 Match Officials 14 Time / Scoring 15 Introduction Introduction This booklet contains an official copy of the playing rules of Wheelchair Hurling. Its aim is to ensure that all players, spectators and commentators, read and learn the rules and definitions of the terms used in the rules. When spectators are fully conversant with the rules, they will have a better understanding and appreciation of refereeing decisions. It is important that coaches ensure that all players have a copy of this booklet and that they study it carefully. This will improve their understanding of the game and help them to accept the decisions of the officials, without dissent. A thorough knowledge of the rules enables players and teams to 5 become more efficient and successful, and to get greater satisfaction from playing. It is important to remember that the definitions of terms are an integral part of the playing rules. When these definitions are clearly understood by all concerned, we can expect a much higher consistency in decision making by match officials, because each term has only one possible meaning. This booklet emphasises the importance which the Association places on promoting a better understanding of our games, which are part of our national culture, by presenting the playing rules in a way which is easy to read, remember and apply.

GAA Club – Overview
CIT Student GAA Club – Overview Camogie – Gaelic Football – Hurling – Ladies Gaelic Football - Handball As befits a County with Cork’s tradition in Gaelic Games, GAA has occupied a central role in the development of sport in the Cork Institute of Technology. The Cork Regional Technical College, as it was formally known until its change of title in 1997 to Cork Institute of Technology, first occupied its Bishopstown campus in September 1974. The new college buildings were officially opened by that great Cork GAA exponent and Taoiseach of the day, Mr. Jack Lynch, in December 1977. A student GAA football team was formed in 1975 and the hurling team commenced playing activities in 1976. In the same way the campus has evolved and expanded so too has the GAA Club which as well as being the oldest sporting club at the Institute, with over 400 active members is also the biggest.

International Journal of Computer Science in Sport a Rating
International Journal of Computer Science in Sport Volume 15, Issue 2, 2016 Journal homepage: http://iacss.org/index.php?id=30 DOI: 10.1515/ijcss-2016-0006 A Rating System For Gaelic Football Teams: Factors That Influence Success Mangan, S. 1, 2,Collins, K. 1, 2 1 Institute of Technology Tallaght 2 Gaelic Sports Research Centre Abstract AIM: The current investigation aimed to create an objective rating of Gaelic football teams and to examine factors relating to a team's rating. METHOD: A modified version of the Elo Ratings formula (Elo, 1978) was used to rate Gaelic football teams. A total of 1101 competitive senior Inter County matches from 2010-2015 were incorporated into calculations. Factors examined between teams included population, registered player numbers, previous success at adult and underage levels, financial income from the GAA, team expenses and number of clubs in a county. RESULTS: The Elo Ratings formula for Gaelic football was found to have a strong predictive ability, correctly predicting the result in 72.90% of 642 matches over a 6 year period. Strong positive correlations were observed between previous success at senior level, Under 21 level, Under 18 level and current Elo points. Moderate correlations exist between population figures and current Elo points. Moderate correlations are also evident between the number of registered players in a county and the county’s Elo rating points. CONCLUSION: Gaelic football teams can be objectively rated using a modified Elo Ratings formula. In order to develop a successful senior team, counties should focus on the development of underage players, particularly up to U18 and U21 level.
