    Share Share Post
    There are a lot of old Irish game played in this district for example:-
    Rounders :- Any number of boys can play this game. It is played by one player bowling a ball to another player, who hits it with a bat or hurley. The other players run after him and try to tip him with the ball before he gets in.
    Rings :- A ringboard is obtained. This ringboard is hung up on a wall. Then six rubber rings are given to one of the players, and he tried to hang the rings, in this fashion the game goes on until the player having the highest score wins the game.
