  1. Local Heroes - A Great Jumper

    Share Share Post
    About one hundred years ago there lived in the townland of Killydesart a man called Jack Gregg, who was a great jumper. He was able to jump nine “Dutch Hoggets” or barrels in a row, jumping out of one into the other. He was also a great violinist.
