   One night when my mammy's Grandfather was coming home from his work at about ten o'clock he though he heard shouting out in the field so he went to see what it was and when he got out he saw a whole lot of little men kicking football in the field. He intended to go over to them. When he went to go over they disappeared into the next field so he blessed himself and they disappeared altogether.

   Told to Meril Tully by her mother whose Father told her.
