   Great Men Contd. - Faction Fighter

   Pat Redmond who came from the Harrow was the greatest man at a faction fight around these parts. I might say in any kind of a fight his match could not be found. Without any stick he could beat two or three. He was the grandfather of the present Redmonds of Ballinglen, Gorey and was a terrible man to fight
   On one occasion he was attacked by a half dozen or more and received a severe wound in the head. He was sent to hospital + wore a silver plate on his head ever afterwards.

   Jumper.
   John Kinsella of Ramstown was a great long jumper + jumped at horse races or anywhere else that there were crowds. He jumped about 23 feet.

   Big Jack Noctor beat everyone at the jump known as the "Three Stands". I could not say how far he went but I think he would not do anything like what they do now.
   He was a shy fellow + someone always had to lead him up to the jump. This was often done by John Mc Gee who usually accompanied "Big Jack."
