96. Whats in a Name?

This sport is unique as it has different names for the two versions played by men and women. Men use a curved stick whereas their female counterparts use a shorter stick. Initially, the name of the stick used gave the name to the sport. When the Gaelic Athletic Association was founded in 1884 the English-origin name " A " was given to the men's game. On the other hand, when an organisation for women was set up in 1904, it was decided to Anglicize the Irish name to " B ".

Name both the versions A and B.
