- The Tallow Hurlers
One Sunday to Dungarvan Town,
Our noble hurlers travelled down,The sun blazed forth upon the scene,As Tallow 'Blues' faced Dungarvan "Greens",Along the sideline bold and clear, Dungarvan backers loudly cheer, While others mingled with the crowd, Of the Tallow boys sure they were proud2For the first five minutes of the play,
The teams from goal to goal did sway,
And since the ball was thrown to ground,
No forward there his target found,
Till Deane pucked out to centre-field,
O'Brien then with his stick did wield,
And drove the 'slither' with a swing,
Way out to Condon on the wing3And quick to Curley he did pass,
Poor 'Bill' was lying on the grass,
And though he was down and feeling sore,
He made a brave attempt to score,
Like slight of hand he forced a shot,
The ball into the net was got,
A thundering cheer now rent the sky,
The umpires green flag waved on high(continues on next page)- Collector
