Scéal (continued)
“There was once a man who lived in Carramore and when the fairies wanted to have a hurling match the wanted two live men, one for each goal, and they used to bring the Carramore man across Lough Conn riding on a bothalán.”
(continued from previous page)leg broken and after he had to go with him.One day they offered him some food and as he was about to take it a little fairy maiden came and shoved it away from him and he looked at her and recognized her as a niece of his that he thought was dead and then he knew that the fairies had taken her away.
This story was told to me by my grandmother, Mrs B. Kilduff, Carramore, Cloghans, Ballina.
