The Clare - Galway game is very good. Didn't expect to enjoy it.

What takings?   ;)

I presume AIG are bankrolling this venture.

I thought it looked seriously messy myself

It's too small and tight as a game. I watched Tipp and Clare, and while it was exciting enough in terms of the result, the game was very messy. The rows look very staged as well.

The scoring system is interesting.

Imagine if the Irish immigrants had introduced hurling rather than Halloween into american culture
