I am guessing you lot play Hurling over there huh? No i'm from nottingham, but My family is Irish and my Pa has been making me hurley's since I was a kid. It's way better then a baseball bat in terms of self defence. this happened in notts, not swansea, the cops turned up so fast was amazing. well the cops who dealt with my incident and about 6 others with the same lads on the same street were f**king useless. I try not to get onto them, there just dooing a job but the whole system is f**ked. and it did take em about 2 hours to come I was standing in my garden waitin for em to come back.
