“A similar story comes from the district of Castleboyle near Youghal.”
A similar story comes from the district of Castlemyles near Youghal. Here in a certain field now known by the people in Redforge as the field at the top of the hill football used be played every night. One night a certain man saw them playing. While he was looking on the ball rolled near him. He picked it up and then went on the pitch to help the weaker side. Every night afterwards the man went off by himself but no one knew whither. It afterwards leaked out that he was so interested in the gaesme that he could not keep away. - Collector
