- There was a fair in Cool Duv here in olden times. For weaks before the day of the fair all the people would be preparing for faction fight's. Some of people used to have sticks and pickes and every weapon that they could get.
The morning of the fair you would see the people coming and blades shining in the sun. There was one man who owned a hole townland. The parish was called after him. He had a horse the horse was called "White stocking [?]." The sight of him was the signal for the fight. One woman said it is three o'clock and no stroke struck.
The fair was not so much for business but to gather the people and to fight. The cows would fight too. It was a mark to put perk on them when they would have them sold. On their horns they used to put it.
There was no money going. They paid in kind.
