More than 100 international players made up of at least 31 nationalities took part in the historic game which set the Guinness World record for the Most Nationalities Participating in a Game of Hurling.

The Department of Applied Social Sciences warmly invite you to our 5th Annual DASS Conference 'Nurturing the Vocational Space in a Professionalised and Regulated World - Practising What We Preach' at LIT Thurles Campus on Wednesday, 3rd April 2019.

Inspired by Limerick’s victory in the All Ireland Hurling Final, the LIT students were determined to keep the hurling euphoria alive and introduce this uniquely Irish game to international students and sport enthusiasts through this one off event.

Limerick’s Multi Culinary Award Winner Bangaly Doumbouya has added the gold medal from the prestigious Chef Ireland Competition to his growing list of accolades, all the while continuing as a second year Culinary Arts student at LIT.

Game enthusiasts attended the day long event that showcased the best of the third level game development community, who competed to win the two over all prizes and 20 category prizes.
