Buffers Alley Wexford The name Buffers Alley is today well-known to hurling fans and sportsmen all over Ireland. There are of course numerous theories as to the story behind the name ranging it from being named "Buffers" after a General in the Boer War to the suggestion that it served as a meeting place for boxers known as buffers. Strictly speaking it remains a crossroads between the townslands of Legnalough and Garrydaniel.

BIG SACKS County: Tyrone Posts: 372 251709 Ballymun are not the only Kickhams Arent Creggan also Kickhams? Patrique will know. Yes they are, and Ardoyne. But why is this funny? Named after Charles Kickham. Being named after the starship enterprise like Nemo or something is a bit more unusual. Personally I always thought "The Queen's Gaelic Club" was a bit of a strange name when you think about it.
