Boys from Ballingarry, Woodstock, Caherhennessy, Ballinaha, Kilshane, Kilmihil, Ballyroe, Lisamota and Lisabarra. The boys assemble there yet but not as many. At O'Brien's cross about a quarter of a mile from Ballingarry a platform was erected. Boys and girls came from all parts from Granagh, Croom, Bruree, Banogue, Kilfinny, Adare, Clouncagh, Kilmeedy and Feenagh. A melodeon, a fiddle and a concertina were played there. Local musicians took turns in playing those instruments.
