While I was living in Martinstown Kilmallock in 1901, I heard many accounts of an old champion wrestler, runner & weight-thrower named Larkin.
The man who owned the house in which I stopped at the time, was called Larkin Casey.
Michael Casey was his real name & he was a grand nephew of the famous Larkin.
There were several accounts of contests & of weights being thrown but I could not now remember details.
Michael Casey was a famous maker of rakes & sugan chairs. He also made flails & I myself accompanied him on a few occasions as he went through the fields near Bruff cutting buaileánns (?) for the flails. Although ash grows plentifully around Martinstown, he preferred to go to Bruff as Bruff is famous for its tough ash plants.
'Bruff for a tough wattle' is a common saying.
This man like the old tradesmen, would only use the best materials for his work.
