- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)ballers were barefooted.The hall was made of "scoit" rope - rope made from rushes which were threshed and crushed. The rope was knotted - four men tightened the knots - and the rope was knotted until it was made into a ball about the size of an ordinary football - but it was much heavier. It took several days to make the rope and knot it into a ball.It was usual for townlands to play challenge Hurley games and Hurley was also played at school. The sticks were called "camáns" and then the game was called a game of "camán". The "camán" were cut from blackthorn hazel and ash and were about three feet in length. They were made by the players. The ball was a lump of wood about 5 inches in diameter. This type of game was common until about twenty years ago.
