  1. Hurling and Football Matches

    Share Share Post
    Matches were played long ago in Campile. The two great teams were the Campile Free Staters and the Camblin Rovers.
    The Camblin Rovers were a team from Camblin. The Campile team was called the Campile Free Staters.
    There were seventeen men on each team. A great match was played 30 years ago. It was a draw between the two parties. The Campile team wore a green and white dress. Ash hurleys were the ones mostly in use. The refereeing was done in the same way as nowaday.
    When a free kick was to be given he would blow a whistle.
