- Two men were coming down from a farmers house in Garrycloyne with a load of hay.
They saw fairy men playing Hurley ball in one of Mr Murphys fields. It happened the ball went out into the road when the men were passing.
One of the fairy men jumped up on the wall of the field and said
"First man give me the ball".
The first man did not give it to the fairy. So he asked again. The first man gave it to him. The fairy said "If you did not give the ball. I would have killed you.
