    I'm older than the Rock and schools comps you had to wear a helmet. For juvenile, minor and under 21, there was no such rule.

    But if DJ Carey can wear one, so can I.

    Was in the park behind my house that houses the GAA pitches yesterday with my two nephews 5 and 7. They are mad into hurling, and we had a knockabout. That turned into tears as the younger fella whacked the hurley into the older lad's face (not intentional, just what happens). Blood and tears all round.

    I think hurleys are dangerous things without helmets. I hate the dentist so would be thinking of me teeth if nothing else.
