    A man that John Patterson had working in Carrowkelly went out setting traps at Doonoa point in a field near a fort he heard the fairies hurling he said where is my hurling stick then a stick was put in his hand. So he played with them until morning and what was in his hand was a Bockalawn for a hurling stick.
