    VI
    In Kilfinane town there was laid down a tournament so grand
    Some hurling clubs competed, the best throughout the land
    There were Ballyhea, Bruree and Gormanstown and Effin in full steam
    But none of them could clash the ash with the Ballinvana team
    VII
    Then here's to captain Connors and to all his merry band
    The Ballinvana Stakers the best throughout the land
    For when they get into the fight they fear no wound or scar
    Whenever theyr competing for the honours of the war
