  1. Local Football and Hurling Matches

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there was an exciting football match played at Urlingford between Rathdowney and Gortnahoe.
    The Rathdowney boys were dressed in colours of green and gold and the Gortnahoe boys were dressed in black and amber.
    There were twenty men on each. They were fighting hard on both sides to win and Mr. Campion of the Abbey Clonmeen who is now dead R.I.P. got his leg broken. Then Rathdowney won by a goal and a point.
