Armagh County player trials 3D printed Hurling Glove!
Sean Treacys Hurling Club Lurgan are taking part in  a study to design a 3D hurling glove that would protect from the most common hand injuries.  Local Camogie Player Aoife Kane who plays with her club St Enda's Derrymacash and the Armagh Senior panel is the sole female participant in the trial.
 
The results of the study will be published later in the year and the hope is that this will encourage the use of further advanced technology within the sports of Hurling and Camogie.
