In the past hurling or football matches were played as at present.The ball was kicked across country from one townland to another, and continues from one parish to another.Some time in the year 1850 a great game was carried on between the parishioners of Galbally and Emly.It is stated that forty players took part on each side. With a type of ball resembling our present day football, thrown up at Ballywire cross - half way between Emly and Galbally the game began. With a great shout and "hullabaloo" each party sought to drive the other to their opposing villages. Galbally pressed and drove the Emlyites to a wet marshy place called the "(?)." Just there a incident occurred which marred the game. The Galbally men and of course the Emly team were tempted by the fumes of a wayside distillery. The temptation was too strong, they drank "well and long" and despite the exertions of some of their men, the game ended in a fiasco - to be resumed at a future date.

In the village of Galbally, which lies at the foot of Galtymore and in the eastern part of Co Limerick in the Barony of Coshlea was situated a woollen mill. My mother used often take the wool there. One evening as she was on her way to Galbally with the wool it happened that she called into a neighbour's house on the way and between the jigs and the reels begor it was falling dark as she faced

Croft as I said before owneed all the land from Athnaslinga stream, Anglesboro, in the Co. Limerick and the barony of Cois Sléibhe (Coshlea) to the Glen of Aherlow in the Co. Tipperary. The Massys now got possession of this land as well. Croft had a steward from the North of Ireland named Handcock and he also left when Croft went. They had a herd also called Lowe and he came to live in Galbally, Co. Limerick, where he got a house from the Samsons ancestors of the present Samsons of Carrickaroche in the Galbally Parish Co. Limerick, Coshlea. One of the Samson family, Lieutenant Samson, was killed inside the Church of Galbally which stood in the Catholic Graveyard and the remains of which are still to be seen there. It appears he had concealed himself behind the high altar after the retreat from Aughrim and the game was given away to the soldiers.

Build in 1790 by John Bishop he worked with great success until the end of the nineteenth century. They were usually about 10 to 15 men employed there. It was a water mill and was on the River Aherlow. Just about 400 yards on the Aherlow side of Galbally. The place can still be seen from the road. All the farmers in the surrounding district used to take their wool there every year. The people from Galbally and Aherlow parishes from Parish of Emly from Knocklong, Ballylanders and all the district around used to bring their wool there. Sometimes they used to sell the wool to Mr. Bishop and at other times they would bargain for the cloth they'd get in exchange. They used to make a strong course frieze and also flannel cloth for white waistcoats which the men used to wear when out working. There was a tucking mill attached to the woollen mill for raising the 'nap' of the frieze and the blankets.
The Bishops became bankrupt 1892 and the mill closed it was afterwards purchased or leased by Mr. Phelan Galbally who for many years used it as a mill for crushing corn and later still as a saw mill
