   One day last Summer, there was a game of hurling played in Gurteen in Scarry's field. The game was played between Moylough's and the Gurteen's. There were about twelve or thirteen each side. A man named Mick Power was the referee. The teams of two parishes played the game. The Moylough's beat the Gurteen's by one or two points. The best hurlers long ago were -Peter Ward, Bartholomew Treacy, Pat Kavanagh of Clough and John Hession and John Dooley of Lenarea, Brian Mannion, Killvane and Richard Dilleen of Shanballard.
