Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this ball suitable for competitive Gaelic football matches?
This ball is optimized for street and hard-surface play, offering durability that exceeds standard match balls meant for grass pitches.
Does the ball come with a pump?
No, the ball is supplied deflated and does not include a pump or inflation needle.
What is the correct size for a beginner?
A size 5 is generally standard for adults and youths aged 14 and older. For younger children, consider the size 4 variant.
Can I use this on grass?
While it can be used on grass, it is specifically designed for hard and rough surfaces. It may feel heavier or harder than a traditional grass-pitch football.
How do I maintain the grip?
Keep the ball clean by wiping it with a damp cloth after play to prevent dust and dirt from building up in the tyre-pattern grooves.
Troubleshooting
The ball loses air rapidly after inflation
Ensure the needle is not damaging the valve wall during insertion. If it continues to deflate, check the valve for debris or a small pebble that may be keeping it open.
The ball feels too hard or bounces erratically
You have likely over-inflated the ball. Use a pressure gauge to ensure it is within the standard PSI range for a size 5 ball.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your Murphys Gaelic Street Football for play, you will need a standard ball pump equipped with a sports needle. Gently moisten the needle with water or glycerin before inserting it into the valve to prevent damaging the internal seal. Ensure you do not over-inflate the ball beyond the manufacturer's recommended PSI, as this can distort the shape and place undue stress on the seams. Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. To clean, simply wipe down with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive brushes that could damage the printed graphic elements.
