   They used to have a hurling match every Sunday down in a small park, from the corner of the bridge wan goal to the far corner of Pat White's House the other.
   You'd see fellows coming home with cut shins and cut faces. They used throw them into the river and everything.

   The dead coach was often heard going down along this road. I was in Kilgowan wan night. This is a blooming fact. I was passing by Dr. Cardiff's house when the funeral came along. At that time I was always fond of going to funerals and going under the coffin. Anyway I went to go under it when a fellow stepped out and gave me a shot. The funeral went along and went into the graveyard.
