William Keane Keale Athea was also reputed for being a good jumper. Paddy McGrath Athea used to mow three quarters of an Irish acre in one day. Philip Cahill was supposed to be a good dancer, jigs reels and horn pipes were the steps he principally danced. William Hunt Athea was a great dancer. One day the Land-lord saw him dancing and he was so pleased with him that he gave him a farm of land near Ballybunion.
