  2. Hurling and Football Matches

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the hurlers around this district wore no jerseys. They wore hurling caps instead to distinguish one team from another. These caps were made by the hurlers sisters. There were twenty five men on each side. The ball was made from timber and it was covered with thread. The first match was played in Feagh in the year 1847. The hurls were very badly shaped and very rough and they were cut and made from ash trees with a bend in the bottom.
