- (continued from previous page)A foremost place those boys upon
the Gaelic field have held.
Tis brotherly they take their stand and
most determined seem
To dare and do their best as men
THE DRIMOLEAGUE FOOTBALL TEAM3
With stalwart rival teams throughout the
Carberies they played
And did themselves distinguish by the
boldness they displayed
And if in play outdone are they
downhearted they'll not seem
For triumph doth await again
THE DRIMOLEAGUE FOOTBALL TEAM4
Twas the men who played our native games
when days were dark and sore
In the fight for Faith and motherland the
winning goals did score
And if that now she needed men and Hopes
should shattered seem
With main and might for her would fight
THE DRIMOLEAGUE FOOTBALL TEAMN.B. Native in the above Line should read "National"
