  1. On Hurling and Football

    Share Share Post
    Long ago they used to play football one Sunday in Piltown and another Sunday in Clashmore. Two parishes used to play together, Piltown and Clashmore. At that time there were no jerseys and they had to play with their shirts and pants. They used to play with a leather ball. All the football players were good at each side. For goals they used to have long ago two sticks up on the ditch.
