His opponents at these contests were the Carrolls, the Mulvany's, The Lynches and others of his own name and friends, and all of whom lived locally in the townland of Crohan, Carrick, Crossafehin, Knocktemple, Berhernagh, Island Coronagh and Lurganboy. Dick Hetherton was a very strong man. He once carried a heavy plough for two miles across the fields, having to surmount ditches and hedges on his way with it.

He was a tram conductor there and was universally known and admired.
