Irish Thought for January 30....

Gaelic Sports

Rounders :  Similar to softball, rounders is played between two teams that alternate between batting and fielding, with nin players per team.  Game play involves hitting a small, leather-cased ball with a bat and then running around four bases to score "rounders."  The sport's first nationally formalized rules were drawn up by the Gaelic Athletic Association in Ireland in 1884.  The game is popular for schoolchildren, especially girls.
