- There was a football matche played long ago beween Whitechurch and New Ross.
It was played in Terrerath. There were fifteen men on each side. Whitechurch players won the matche that day. They won with a big score. The scores were Whitechurch 6 goals 2 points New Ross 2 goals 1 point. In olden times the teams playing matches just kicked or hurled in their own clothes. Goal posts were not used those times. The way the goals were pointed out was by small bushes and sometimes the teams would play from ditch to ditch.- Collector
