  1. A Local Poem - The Pelletstown Reds

    Share Share Post
    If you want to see football around County Meath,
    By a team that's untrained but not lacking in speed
    Well you know where's Dunshaughlin and from that its three miles
    To see Pelletstown 'Reds' 'would be well worth your while.

    They can also play hurley you need not be surprised
    But somehow the lately got disorganised
    The cancelled the croskie for football instead
    With "Hawkins" in saddle they have nothing to dread.
