Introduction
The aim of our project was to identify the different sports that are popular in Cork and Cologne. In Cork we researched the popular sports in UCC and the huge variety of clubs which it has to offer. We then chose to research and discuss the traditional Irish sports i.e. Gaelic football, hurling, camogie and ladies football. This was something new to our German partners and so it was important that we explained this in depth from the basics to the details of the All Ireland final. We then looked into famous sports people in Cork especially those who were of huge inspiration to us e.g. Aisling Thompson- the Cork camogie captain and Valerie Mulcahy- An all-star Cork footballer. As we both are hugely involved in sport this project was of great interest to both of us and we were intrigued to learn about the difference in sport in Cologne which was provided by our partners Maurice, Manu and Rene. In Cologne they carried out a survey on the most popular sports and below we will present our results.
