- The boys of this place long ago used play hurley and handball.
The hurl was made from a stick with a camog.
Every hurley player made his own hurley stick.
The ball was made from a gall of wollen thread covered outside with sheep skin. The Durlesses used come up to play with the hurley players from here.
