  1. Old Games - Skittles

    Skittles
    This game was played near Navan in my mothers time.
    The people would get five round sticks and put them standing in a ring with one in the middle. They would have an extra one also. They would stand at a distance from the ring and throw the extra one at them. They would get three chances each and the person who knocked the most won.
