- Children in all places and at all times have been fond of play - and games are different in most districts. Owing to the meagre accounts I have got of games I refrain from giving them in detail.
Amongst the number are: football (the county game) hurling (very little), jumping, running, Hide & seek, caps, Blind man's buff, gobs (or five stones), hunting cards, handball, &c. - (St Brendan the "Navigator")Accounts of St Brendan have been given in Irish in the early part of this book (pp 13-15) and his connection with this parish (viz: Uaimh Bhréanainn) and school. I therefore refer the reader to the first part of this book for reference to "Our Patron Saint" and to the children's accounts of same.
