One of the most notable men of this locality is Denis Lane of knocknagore Castleisland. He distinguished him self in running and jumping. He held the 440 yards championship of Ireland for years.
He won fame at the 120 yards hurdles. He made a name for himself at Listowel Sports some years ago when he won from Percy Kirwan and Leahy and P Brian 120 yards hurdles.
