- About 40n yeras ago Newtown Shandrum and Meelin played a hurling match in Monagaa - Limerick.
Newtown won and a song was composed about it.
"The 3rd of November to Meelin we did go ,
To goal the sturdy Meelin men
They really were a show
on white and green they could be seen
So bodly marching down
To goal the few but hardy lads
That came from sweet Newtown
Lucky Meelin won the toss
And played both hill & wind
They were but scarce 10 minutes goaling
When they had scored a point.
The leader was sent flying again And a splendid play was seen
You'd love to see a Shandrum boy
Upset a white and green".(continues on next page)- Informant
