So seldom seen a finer lot of men,
'An' they passing every station there was woeful animation.
To see whether Clare or Cork was goin' to win .

Their shouts were to the sky.
And the final ultimatum was 'up with Clare and al'ear.
"We will bring the Munster Championship or die .
Then the final whistle sounded, and ball it was surrounded,,
And the hurlers gathered round it,like a dog would a hare.

And he gave the bunch of palm to Co Clare.(continues on next page)
