A man name Murphy, Gortroe, brought 5 cwts of wheat on his back up a hill another man named Hayes, Gortroe, brought 5 cwts of wheat up a sloping yard, which was paved. Sergeant Nolan, Pat Bresnahan and his son Con were famous weight throwers. The latter threw a 2 cwt from his shoulder acros a wall which was about 12 feet high. In later years - about 35 years ago there were famous high jumpers. Pat & Con Leahy also Tim. Pat & Con were long jumpers and also first class performers at Hop step & jump, which is now called Two Hops and Jump. J J Leahy and J J Bresnahan were all round athletes.
