- (continued from previous page)They will face them man to man
Oh, 'tis then you'd see the hurling
With the Crecora twenty-one.
When they beat the Ballyneety team.
They played the O'Connell's then
And before the daylight failed them
In sooth, they were the victors
They thrashed them all, where e'er they went
Be sure they won each prize
May heaven smile upon the soil
That reared the Crecora boys.
The Crecora boys are mighty youths
Of that you may be sure
They're active, hardy, bold and proud
Noble, brave and pure
They can do brave deeds
When they are on the playing field
Be sure they are brave hurlers
Those brave Crecora burghers
