    ease Paddy Moris of Canteeny was another noted high jumper second only to Leahy of Charleville. In his day his best jump was was 5 ft 11 1/2 ins. Another Canteeny man (Padraig Coen) was able to lift the Kilmoylan stone on his shoulders. This stone is there still for anyone to have a trial at. The unobtrusive Padraig had a holy horror for the limelight. Consequently there is little known of his athletic feats.
