  1. (continued from previous page)
    We have centres and half backs none bolder
    In O'Connell, and Tommy and Brien
    Three brave men from old Ballyorgan,
    And Callaghan skillful and strong
    And Leahy our wonderful score man
    To gladden the heart of the throng.
    IV
    This season our lads played like heroes
    At Mallow and Shanballymore
    And at home they defeated their old foes
    The champions and brave Fedamore
    Of triumphs galore we can boast boys
    With a single unlucky defeat
    But next year we'll start from the post boys
    And sweep every team off their feet.
