  1. Football Matches of Long Ago

    Share Share Post
    In those days there were no goal posts, they played from ditch to ditch. One time Killusty played Kilcash at a place mid- way between the two parishes. Killusty were too fast for their opponents, for one of them put the ball under his arm and ran away with it from one ditch to the other and so won the match for Killusty.
