    "I will do it". So he, the other brother said he would tell him to fight the Meath man so they started the fight and in the middle of the fight he said "I will do it" and his brother said if you do you will not leave this field alive, and he lifting up a big stick and the Meath man got afraid and ran away. He though that the other man has going to kill him, and so Cavan won the £10. Meath won the football match but Cavan won £10.
