- Long ago there used be hurling matches played in Lahorna and Knigh. That time there used twenty one men hurl at each side and in later years seventeen men.
There was a hurling in Mr. Ryan's field in Lahorna about forty eight years ago. The hurling was between Knigh and Lahorna. That time they used hurl from ditch to ditch.
Whoever would loose the ball in the ditch first got a goal. The Lahorna team won. Many of those team won fame afterwards. There was a team made up of the parish of Ardcroney, Kilruane and Monsea. These were called the "De Wetts". Many of the Lahorna team were picked to join them.
There was another hurling between Lorra and Lahorna. This hurling was won by the Lahorna team also. The way this hurling was played was the two teams met half way between Lorra and Lahorna and hurl the ball back to their own townland.(continues on next page)
