Getting back on topic for a minute (or at least closer) what parts of Leixlip are actually covered by "The Hill" and "The Far end"?
The hill bit is obvious but how far does the area extend before the Hillers territory ends? What about the Far End?

Well the Rye river kinda splits it evenly enough...

it works best that way, 'cause the far enders get the smelly half of Leixlip hahahahaa.
I've actually really nothing against the farenders, but still, old pointless rivalries are fun.

I heard there were killings on Friday night at the fest? Not sure if it was hillers and the farenders? Most likely blow-ins! :P

Great craic down there last night in the courtyard.

Just reading through the thread... I see that the GJ's were from the far end, didn't the hillers have the DJ's?? i.e. Donkey Jackets? Not a joke btw!

P.s. Terry you mention grafitti in an earlier post? Terry U2?:D

ah now aren't there more hillers living down the far end now, we're improving the breed down there.

by the way, dun carraig was part of the hill as well.. so that map you drew is wrong

there were loads of different groups fighting the farenders from the hill. farenders were generally the little rich kids where the hill was less posh, or less pussies if you will.

The Hiller/Far Ender thing takes me back, even further back than the 1980s.

I lived in Castletown between 1970 and 1976. In those days, there was one GAA club, St. Marys, and a boys and girls primary school side by side on the Celbridge Road. No Hillers and Farenders then but my memory is of the Marys Park and Green Lane lads having a go at the Oaklawn and Castletowners.

The prehistory of the Hillers and the Farenders?

I love the way that the New Leixlip Order couldn't take over my gaff!

I love the way the vast majority of our territory is that field behind the canal and the GAA club
