   Years ago, before mowing machines became so numerous mowers were looked upon as a special & qualified class of men The work was very hard & only strong men undertook it. There were two famous mowers in the parish, their names were Denis Sweeney & Thomas Condon they lived in Ballymacarbery, another great mower was John Crotty. They often took the work on mowing hay & corn by contract and often cut 4 1/2 acres of hay or corn between them in a working day from dawn to dark. They died early details & people say that it was the hard work work was the cause of it.

   Patrick Power of Lickoran and William Flynn of Croughclooney were also great weight-throwers but not as good as Richard Lonergan.
   A brother of William Flynn was a great runner and won several Marathon Races.
