    It was Caman they used to play long ago and my Grand-father was a great player.
    They used to play it down on the Portaferry strand. Two Townlands used to play Gortasillagh and Mulnamina. They to play tug-a-war in Gortnasillagh and they were so good that Cannon McFadden took them to Letterkenny and to Derry. In Letterkenny they beat the best tug-a-war team in the County.
