There were two other posts one on one side of the goal-posts about nine ft away from the goal-post and the other on the other side the same distance away and these were called goal-posts. If the ball went over the cross-bar or out between the posts at each end of the goal-post it was called a point and if it went out under the crossbar and in between the goal-posts it is called a goal. Hurling was played long ago and the hurley was about 2 1/2 ft long. There were three great hurley players in the parish named Carey, Smith and Flynn.
My uncle named Thomas Kearney told me this information and he is 41 years.
