  1. The Goalie
    Years ago there lived in Castleblagh a man named Danie O'Donoghue. Every night the good people went into his home and took him out hurling with them. He stood in the goal for them. The name of the field they used to hurl in was Bán Mor.
    He used also sing for them. When he had his singing finished they all cheered him.
    At that time he could tell when there was anyone going to died in the parish.
