    “It was in the year of 35 on the 16th day of June”

    Share Share Post
    It was in the year of 35 on the 16th day of June
    When flowers so gay bestrewed the way all nature was in bloom
    To Carlow town I took my way filled with hope and pride
    To see the Feis Cup final played by Milford and Killride
    When I arrived in Carlow to the field I went straighway
    And my position there took up where I could see the play
    I have roamed in many a foreign land but no grander sight I've seen
    Than those two great teams marching to the wearing of the green.
