- Doris Steacy, Ballycanew, Gorey.Games I Play.We often play cricket out in the open in summer and tennis also.We pick blackberries and sloes in the summer evenings.In Winter when the nights are long, we play games inside such as Nuts in May and Blind Mans's Buff and Apples and Oranges and The Grand Old Duke of York.In Autumn when the first of November comes, we call that night Black Man's night. We dress up in old clothes on that night and go out from house to house dancing and singing, and we get apples and nuts from the people.
