   From Inniskeen that morning
   The Crowd was something vast
   Some hundreds came on bicycles
   While thousands onwards passed
   And beat records the McFinn's that day
   Were seen lined out to play
   The Grattans from the shades of Inniskeen.

   And as he ran along the line
   To the cheering of the crowd.
   he shot a point . --

   While Moore relieved the pressure
   And McGahans of the Fane.
