    About fifty years ago, Darby OBrien Pallasbeg, Cappamore was a marvelous athlete. He was the youngest brother of the family. His father was a small farmer. Darby O'Brien jumped 38 feet with three standing jumps in Limerick. He also jumped 36 feet in Cappamore and in many other places. He gave great jumps but there were no records taken at that time.
