- There was a man in Cleenragh named Martin Flanagan. He was noted for his fleetness of foot. He was herding some of Cleenragh farm. One Sunday a football was to be held in a field near by, and Martin was going to be the referee. On Saturday evening Martin's master sent him to Dublin on a message. Martin went and he was the first man to strike a kick on the football after second mass on Sunday. When he died the doctors were anxious to know how he could go so fast. So they found out that he had wings on his heart.
