Rounders is a game played between two teams each alternating between batting and fielding. It is a striking and fielding team game, which involves hitting a small, hard, leather-cased ball with a round wooden, plastic or metal bat and then running around four bases in order to score. The game is regulated by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and by Rounders England (formerly the National Rounders Association of Great Britain) in England. Both have different, although similar, game-play and culture. Competitions are held between teams from both traditions with games alternating between codes, often one version being played in the morning and the other in the afternoon.- Category ID : 166208
