- Long ago there was a match played in the level mountain between Lyre and Kilcorney.
The rae was a flat place where coarse grass grew. The mountain was from the Post Office to the brokers cross.
The Lyre boys were waiting for the Kilcorney boys a long time.
When they came, they arranged the match and the ball was thrown up. They had great tearing.
Kilcorney took the ball from the Lyre boys, and they carried it up through Charlesfield. When they got to the top of the hill, there was a great struggle and one of the Lyre boys named "Líam Fíadhan" got the ball and brought it home and Lyre won the match.
