Information from Patrick O'Sullivan, Banteer, Co. Cork. Age 76 years. There was a cricket team in Banteer over 60 years ago. There was a match almost every Sunday. A half tierce of porter would be taken out on Saturday night and the price was only 15/- or 16/-. The losing side had to pay for the porter. No Sunday drinking was allowed at that time in the public houses. - About 60 years ago Sports were held in Priestley's Lawn, Kanturk. Some of the Competitors from Banteer were Dan Duggan - local blacksmith - Runner
