It is not recorded that anyone was killed but desperate wounds were inflicted on both sides. When evening came peace was restored and both parties left for home.In a few hours time the Orangemen returned and the inhabitants of the village suffered a merciless attack. It was then that O'Neill the famous blacksmith specially distinguished himself. He had taken part in the fray in the earlier part of the day but now he had to take command of the townspeople. He opened his forge and not a scrap of iron was left. All was handed out, bars of iron, tools, and even old shoes were distributed. He succeeded in keeping the Orangemen at bay whilst swift messengers went out to the surrounding country to summon those who had left their homes.
