    The game commenced and it was a very hard fought one .The Rovers were unable to stand up to the St
    Patricks as the latter succeeded in bringing the ball to their own territory.
    The ball was held as a trophy and even to the present day the people narrate on how the teams played as the ball was kicked from field to field .It was a hard game and it needed good ,strong active men to partake in it.
