Richie Ho Ho Hogan leads TheScore.ie's festive hurling XV

Warning: We’ve saved up all our puns for this one article.

AFTER BRINGING YOU Festive Footballers in 2012, and Christmas sportspeople last year, we thought it was about time we turned our pun-making machine in the direction of Gaelic games.

With that in mind, here is our selection of the most festive 15 players to ever grasp a hurley. We’ve played a bit fast and lose with some positions and, indeed, the English language, but it’s Christmas so you’re legally obliged to forgive us.

If you’ve any suggestions of players who should have made the cut let us know in the comment section below.

Who was Ireland’s greatest sportswoman in 2014?

Is it ‘inevitable’ that there will be a woman President of the GAA?
