    Whenever the ball would land when somebody kicked it they would run and kick it on. they would run after the ball over all the ditches until they would be faraway. There was a song made about the Burt team.

    Up the Burt boys etc.
    We will meet them
    We will beat them
    Up the Burt boys every time.

    Up the right wing Up the left wing
    Up the centre on the line
    We will meet them we will beat them
    Up the Burt boys every time.

    Never weary always cheery,
    In sunshine, snow or rain,
    Keep on smiling keep on piling
    To the end we play the game.
