    would take over one hundred points to make a goal. It was not a versus parish match it was between two townslands.
    At that time the ball was bigger than it is now. The hurleys were much thicker and the pole of the hurley was also thicker. The matches lasted for one hour and twenty minutes. The refereeing was not done the same way as it is now. There were no seventies or puck ins in them days.
