    “One night two men were going from Derrybrien to Torrmacnevin”

    John Roche, Gortadrigan, Peterswell, Loughrea. 6/12/'37
    One night two men were going from Derrybrien to Toormacnevin. It was down across the mountain they came. Just about twelve o'clock they saw a hurling match a short distance in front of them. All the players were dressed in white and wore tall hats. They were shouting and talking. When the two men came as far as where they thought the people were hurling they could see not one at all. Then they walked home and did not see any more that night.
