  1. (continued from previous page)
    Kerry and Wexford were playing football a poem was made about them. It said;
    "Lawlor then was on the ball.
    A man of might, and grit;
    And with the kick he gave it,
    He drove it through the net.
    The cheering was tremendous
    Such cheers were never known.
    Since Sarsfield called the Lawlors to his aid at Garryowen"
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
