- Long ago there were no goals in the football field, they played from ditch to ditch. Killusty played Mullinahone - a neighbouring parish, one time. They met at a convenient place. When the teams assembled the ball was thrown in by an outsider. If a Killusty man got it, he should run to his side of the field and if he were able to do that Killusty would win the match. They could foul all they liked.
When hurling they made use of handles of brushes, pitchforks etc, and had to hurdle from one townland to another.- Collector
