  1. They only play football and pitch and toss here. They play the latter at the cross roads every night and they play football on a Sunday in Foxes field. Sometimes the parish of Miltown plays Loughnavally or we would play Ballymore. They do not wear jerseys or shorts. They have a big leather ball and they mark out the goals in the field.
    They do not play any games here but they often go to matches in Cusack park in Mullingar.
