Best Answer

A standard Hurling team consists of 15 players:

1 goal keeper

3 defenders lined across the pitch near their own goal known as "full backs".

3 defenders lined across the pitch further from their own goal known as "half backs".

2 midfield players.

3 attackers lined across the pitch far from the opposition goal known as "half forwards".

3 defenders lined across the pitch near the opposition goal known as "full forwards".

The corresponding defenders and attackers mark each other - one full back marks one full forward. The midfielders also mark their opponents.
