    go to mass but when mass was half over they stole the spring cars and they went off to Doneraile. When they arrived in Doneraile the Blackthorns refused to play them because they said they were only a "parcel of gorsoons". The local priest persuaded them to play and there was no score (in) the first half hour but in the second half hour they could not count the scores made by the Castlemagner team and they won easily. They arrived home safely and they were forgiven for taking the cars.
