- (continued from previous page)When they enter upon the field twas then you'd see the sight.
All dressed in uniform with their hurleys raised on high.
and by their gallant captain's orders, they will face them man for man.
And tis then you'll see the hurling with Crecora 21.Twas over at Cahernorry, it was there they proved the men.
The Shule team they got ready to hurl against them.
They did their best you may depent, bu their efforts were in vain.
For without a doubt the ball flew out, by those hurlers of great fame.They went to Clare and beat them there, as I can understand.
They hurled the brave O'Gonnelloe and beat them out of hand.
They thrashed them all where'er they went, my boys that's the rub.
May the heaven smile, upon the soil, that reared Crecora club.And now I'm on the finish I think its nearly time.
There a pattern to poestaster and their verse is out of rhyme.
They thought for to dispraise those boys, but now they must give up.
For they took the away at Patrick's Well and won the silver cup.
