  2. Hurling and Football Matches

    Share Share Post
    Inter-parish football matches were played in this district (parish of Ballyhar, Co. Kerry) in old times - up to fifty years ago or so. Ballyhar and Firies - that is the pick of these two parishes - played Kiltuirmin(?) parish and part of Killarney parish called Poll na Muc, in the year 1875. The match was played in a field of Pat Lawlor's farm, townland of Dromadeesert, in the parish of Kilcummin. As was the custom at that time fifteen men were in each team. The players were selected according to merit. Ballyhar and Firies won the match. At that time "goals" were counted in the same. "Points" were not.
