Schoolyard Games

[Oraisteach]

Laois, if you knew your limits and had a decent feed before sneaking a Guinness or two, then you wouldn't be hurling quite so violently.

We played a game called Hurling.
More violent than any of the pussy games ye are on about.

Only in Laois would hurling be described as violent.

There was a particularly shiny parquet floor on a back corridor outside our assembly hall which was used in bad weather as a curling rick. First years got used as a makeshift curling stone and slung down the hall on their bacl in an attempt to get closest to a circle chalked onto the floor.

Ah happy times

WTF? In my day the kick you got from getting a Mars Bar for 2p less because your mate was serving at the tuck shop kept me going for months.




School children playing deadly 'fainting' game

Gotta admit - we did that when attending colaiste samhraidh in the Donegal Gaeltacht back in the 90s - not a new phenomenon.

Really? Never heard of it. We just curted women. Fainted doing that though with a blade from Portaferry.

Was she that bad looking?

She was class looking from memory. 2 sisters from Portaferry. 1 black haired 1 blonde haired, but O Neill kept disappearing to the handball alley with the Ballycastle ballbanger.  Now that was not for the 'faint hearted' - savage fun.

Our motto is...If you can't bate them on the scoreboard,bate them around the head.

I suppose if you've been to a Laois SHC Final in the past, that would be understandable.

Wouldn't be a proper County Final if there wasn't a decent fight in it.
