    Share Share Post
    1. The games usually played around here are hurling, rounders, hide and seek. Those are the most common games but thee are other games played also.
    2. The boys of this locality play hurling on Sunday. The girls generally play hide and seek.
    3. Hide and seek is a very nice game. The way it is played is that two, or one would be enough to hide his face and all the rest would go off and hide. He then will go and try and find them and if he misses them they run to the den.
