    Local Heroes.
    My uncle Mr John O'Leary was a great hurler in his youth. He lives in the townsland of Ballinamona, the Ballagh. He hurled in the All-Ireland Hurling Match in 1910. He played full - Forward. He won several medals. He is now fifty years of age.
    This story was to me by (my mother)
