- Hurling and Football Matches.
The first football match played
in Co. Wicklow was played in the
Bottoms, at Rathdrum. The teams
were Avondale and Conary.
There were twenty one men on
each team. There were two scoring
places. The goal scoring place
and the point scoring place. One
goal then was worth any amount
of points. People used to say "
As any amount of venial sins
cannot make a mortal one, neither
is any amount of points worth
a goal. The winners were Avondale.
A man that won fame on
the field that day was, Mr
Barry, Main Street, Rathdrum. He
was playing woth Conary. This
match was played on St Patrick's(continues on next page)- Collector
