- The strongest man that was in this locality was Patrick Duffy, Belisker, Bekan, Claremorris. He lifted six cwt. weights at the market scale of Ballyhaunis. Another man in the locality hearing of Duffy's strength challenged him to lift the scale so they both met at Ballyhaunis for the contest. Bystanders filled the scale with all its weights and Duffy lifted it but the other man failed, so Duffy was declared champion of the locality.
