- A StoryThere was a man long ago. One night he was coming home from a wake. He was passing a field and he heard shouting and cheering. They called him in. It was about one o'clock. He went in and saw dead people hurling. They were one short one so they gave him a hurl. Who should he be hurling against but his own Father. His father won. This story is true. The man told it to my grandmother.
