   Pitching Pins was a favourite game long ago. Eachplayer had a collection of pins on a pin cushin. A ring was made on the ground and about 3 yds from that a line and another 3 yds further off another line. Eachplayer in turn stood at the farthest off line and tried to pitch a pin into the ring. Whosoever got his pin into the ring or nearest the line could then take all the other pins. Then he stood at the nearest line and tried to get pins into the ring.

   Laetheannta Saoire buachalla aimsire.
   Lá nodlagh gach aon ráithe
   Domhnach Cáiga gach aon seachtmhain
   Domhnac gach aon dara lá
   Agus lá saoire a beith eatorra.

   Ba shin é mo mhí-ádh
   Sean-lá Bhealtaine de ghearradh mo chórda
   Is do dógadh mo thop
   (garsún go raibh top aige a dubhairt é seo do gearra an mághisur an córda
   agus do dhóigh sé an top)
