    And soon again another goal,
    Like a bullet flew twixt pole and pole,
    Dungarvan rallied with all their might,
    And the goal they got put their hopes on high,
    And played as if they were inspired,
    By the borough supporters they were admired
    At half time Tallow faced the sun,
    Leading the way by two to one
    5
    So here's to Tallow's brave fifteen.
    Who fought so hard and played so keen.
    The Dungarvan boys we wont run down,
    They did their best to win the crown.
    And when the Tallow team - the final play.
    We hope to see them win the day,
    And from east Waterford they will bring up
    The County Senior Hurling Cup.
