    7. Atho' the years are creeping on I still can lay the game
    And as a centre forward I think I've made my name,
    The Darver boys took my advice, I feel you will agree,
    That the tips I gave helped very much to bring them victory.
    8. An now about the vanquished I am very pleased to say
    The played the game like sportsmen altho' they lost the day,
    The brothers McNamee I hold are a credit to the game
    They are worth a place on any team & sure to achieve fame.
    9. "Fagan" Byrne & Lennon they also caught my eye.
    And with "Claudie" worked like trojans, they meant to do or die.
    I think it only fair to say that the St Brides as a team.
    Have got the brains and science that are sure to win their dream.
