Playing Hurling during the Leaving Cert!!

I played last night, cos my team had only 14 players

... A couple of lads had gone on holidays and all... I knew it was a massive risk and I was very lucky, I have a swollen right hand and two large cuts just above my knuckles on my right hand (the hand I write with) LUCKY it wasn't an inch lower or I'd be F*****d for Construction and Technology, I was just wondering has anyone played Hurling or anyn sport for that matter during the Leaving Cert?? Get injured??

Only the Junior Cert but I had a Friday off before the last test - TG. Shattered my shoulder playing soccer...didn't do the test!:D

I didn't as much as train for the week before the exam in case something like this happened... of course I'm living in Cavan so i don't play hurling but there wouldn't have been a hope of me touching a hurl if I did play hurling...

even as much as a sprained wrist would have had me in serious bother for english and irish especially like...

i have the next 15 years to play football - 3 weeks off won't kill me.... in fairness any games that can be called off should be at this time of year - just for the 2-3 weeks of the exams.. minor games and junior matches especially because most leaving cert students are involved in these teams

I still practiced and went to music lessons during the whole thing

One of my friends played football the weekend before it started and broke her arm.
Thank god it was her left!
