- Hurling and Football Matches 9/9/38
Football when first started in Éire was rather a rough game and something in the nature of the English one teamed Rugby. In joint parishes such as Bruree and Rockhill fifteen players were according to their prowess picked from each parish then on a day appointed or assigned the players assembled on a particular field, the ball was thrown between them and whichever team was able to kick or carry it to an arranged distance from the centre was the winner and the team was named after the parish that was triumphant. No goalposts were used as in the modern game.

They were noted far and near for their sure aim on the field, their alert and always watchful eye on the ball and lastly though most important their gift at goal-keeping.
