  2. Hurling Matches

    Share Share Post
    In Mitchelstown, Co. Cork a certain man went to bed one night. About twelve o'clock he was awakened by a strange voice which called. He got up and was let to a field near by. There before him he saw hundreds of fairies all hurling, and before he knew where he was he was also hurling. At three o'clock the hurling stopped and the fairies disappeared and he went home and went to bed and didin't get up for six months.
