  1. The Grattans' Football Team

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there was a football team known as the Grattans who lived somewhere near Kilsharvan. They used to practise every Sunday with a ball made of hay, but when they played openly they used a leather ball like the one of today. Their colours were green and black.
