- "Players from the past"
These are the members of the Killeshin Football
team from 1937. The picture appeared in the Nationalist
newspapers c1990. The caption:
A good team which reached
a Laois JFC final, but never quite made the breakthrough,
even though good enough to defeat the outstanding Carlow
O'Hanrahans. "It was the best team in Killeshin for a long
time, but it was very hard to win in Laois at the time" said
team member Paddy Moran, a former Carlow Sugar Factory sugar
cook. Paddy who was on the fringe of the Laois team at the
time, played with Ballyfoyle (Maganey), Ballylinan and
Crettyard before going to Killeshin.
