    The twentieth of June was the date of the year,
    When Carrig and Tracton once more did appear,
    To play at Ballygarvan, where victory was found,

    A thousand spectators had gathered that day,
    The moor and the hillside re-echoed each crash,
    Every swish of the ball, every crack of the ash,
