- Hurling and football matches are very common nowadays in Ireland. There was a great hurling match in Meelin many years ago. The game was between the Meelin teams and the Ashford teams. They had a great game which lasted mostly all the day. The Meelin teams were victorious. The match was played in Knockduff. The players were dressed in trousers and ganzeys. There was no referee. The ball was a very big round one.
Hurling was played in Newmarket in former times. The hurleys used had heads on them for hitting the ball. The Newmarket team was nearly always victorious. The Meelin team was victorious a few times. In the evening after the match there was great rejoicing and the band usually played through the village.(continues on next page)- Collector
