    Cricket Team
    Information from Patrick O'Sullivan, Banteer, Co. Cork. Age 76 years.
    There was a cricket team in Banteer over 60 years ago. There was a match almost every Sunday. A half tierce of porter would be taken out on Saturday night and the price was only 15/- or 16/-. The losing side had to pay for the porter. No Sunday drinking was allowed at that time in the public houses.
