The games were of a much more strenuous nature than at the present time.Many players were severely injured not recovering for a month sometimes.
The same man gave the following account of football at a later period when the trams were reduced to twenty- one players aside.There were three goalposts ,two side posts which were point posts and a gold posts in the centre.There were two extra men to guard the side posts.These left their posts frequently to help those in front.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
