- Local heroes.
There was a man by the name of Boyle, Glenalla, Rathmullen, Co Donegal. He mowed three acres in a day. He went to Letterkenny and said that the men were no good there. He bet that he would mow five acres and he won the bet and did it. He never could mow any after. He lost all power of himself.
