- Football was played long ago in Gortuore [?] meadow. I believe it was Association. It was often spoken of as "kicking the cod". I have heard of a great match that was played there but I cannot get the names of the teams or any other details. There was a man killed at this particular match. The ball was made of leather and about the same size as the ball used to-day.
Hurling was not played in this district but weight throwing was often practised.
