Commoners, or the lower classes, participated in archery competitions and games like football and hurling. Football and hurling were very dangerous sports. Unlike today's version of football, there were no rules, many men were hurt during the game and some were even killed. Hurling was more like rugby, it was played with a box ball and the team size was unlimited and from that it was like football, trying to get the ball form your opponents. The other version of hurling is very much like today's hockey. It was played with a wooden stick and a ball, the ball was then hit into the other teams goal.
