    My mother Mary Ann Mc Govern told me the following story about her father the late Willie Doyle Drumshanbo He lived to the age of eighty two years and died in the year nineteen hundred and twenty five.
    He used to be able to throw the fifty six pounds weight twenty feet in length and throw it ten feet in height and catch it coming down again. He used to be able to leap eighteen feet in length and nine feet in height.
