The Poc Fada is a uniquely Irish event which takes place each year. Competitors must puck a sliotar with a hurley (they may lift and strike or hit the ball from the hand). The course runs from one apointed location to anonther and An Corn Cuailgne ("The Cooley Cup") is awarded to the player who takes the lowest number of pucks to complete the course. Ties are broken by the distance by which the player's last puck crosses the finish line. The whole course measures over 5 Km in the Cooley Mountains Co. Louth.
