FAQs
What size is this Gaelic football?
This is a Size 5 Gaelic football, which is the standard size for adult players.
What materials is the ball made of?
The ball is constructed from a combination of Cotton, Natural Rubber, Polyester, Reinforced materials, Silica, and Synthetic Rubber.
Is this ball suitable for wet weather?
Yes, the Murphys Match Gaelic Football is designed for all-weather suitability, including wet conditions.
How should I inflate the ball?
Use a standard inflation needle and pump. Slightly lubricate the needle before insertion to avoid damaging the valve. Inflate to the recommended pressure.
How do I clean the ball?
Wipe the ball with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
What does 'Nitrile Bladder Technology' mean for performance?
Nitrile bladder technology enhances air retention, meaning the ball stays inflated for longer periods and maintains its shape better during play.
Is the ball suitable for both training and matches?

Troubleshooting
Ball not holding air
Check the inflation valve for any debris. Ensure the inflation needle is inserted correctly and not bent. If the issue persists, the bladder may need replacement.
Ball feels too hard or too soft
Check the inflation pressure using a gauge and adjust to the recommended PSI. Over-inflation makes the ball hard; under-inflation makes it soft and difficult to control.
Surface appears damaged or discolored
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For persistent stains, consult specific cleaning guides for synthetic and natural rubber materials.
Stitching is coming undone
Minor loose threads can sometimes be trimmed carefully. If stitching is significantly unraveling, professional repair might be needed, or consider replacement if structural integrity is compromised.
