  2. Hurlings Long Ago

    Share Share Post
    Long ago all the young boys and girls, used to gather together at a crossroad, and have a dance, and music. They used often give a feast, and when it was over the boys and girls would walk to the next crossroad at the head of a great crowd, and they held the hurling there.
