Another account about Hurling and Football says:- Rick Donovan, Kilkerran was captain of Rathbarry football team. They had no special place for playing. Every team had their own ball, and any one would not be left play unless he paid something for the ball. The players had no special clothes. The goal was ten feet wide and if the ball went about eight feet outside the goal on either side it would be counted as a point.
The hurling was played west of Kilkerran Lake, which is called "Mearach Cnáimhin". Hurling was called "goaling".
