    fields long ago. The teams that played were Moyvore and Rathskeagh. There were fifteen men in each team. There was no score in this football. The result of the match was a draw.
    The referring was done the same as it is done now. The kind of ball that was used was a football full of corks.
    It was goal-posts that were used at this football. There was no hurling played in this district at any time.
