- (continued from previous page)Cross Carrigtwohill Co. Cork, Matches were played there long ago. Parish against Parish. They used have smaller matches two townland against townland. There were twenty-one aside. The person should hit the ball a certain distance to join the team.
They used have no goals posts but from ditch to ditch and if it hit the ditch it would be a goal. Before that time they used have a stick with the shape of a bow about half the size of the goals now.They used play for a number of goals. They might be a whole day before they would score.Bowl playing was played a long the road from Jack Murphy's forge in Water Rock, Midleton, Co. Cork to Murthy's Cross. Jim Mc Carthy of Ballintubber Carrigtwohill Co. Cork was a great bowler.Another great bowler was Tim Sheehan who lived in Ballintubber, Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork. He was called the Russian. No one ever beat him.(continues on next page)- Collector
