    The Defeat of no.3 (Rahan)
    You hurlers of Offaly.
    I pray, you lend an air.
    A few words on the Island hurlers
    As I think its only fair.
    Been only a lot of youngsters
    Still no team do they fear to face
    The next to go down
    And in running up the medals
    They are holding well their place.
