“The name of my townland is Lisgoold...”
(continued from previous page)Their equals for playing f can never be found.II
Michael John Cotter the head of the team.
The Rings and the Flynns the forwards had been.
In all the ball matches they played with a will,
As they did long boys beside Pigeon hill.III
Michael John Cotter who always had been
Admired for his playing by those who had seen.
How nobly he fought when danger came on
And never had feared but played like a man.IV
Let us cherish the memory of those oer the wave
Men famed for their valour in those bygone days
May success attend them and let us all hail
Flynn, Gray and the Twomeys who left Gráinne UaileV
If the fame of those young men should happen to die
The maid they long wooed for ever would sigh.
So stick to your colours with the flag ever flying,
And cheer those fair maidens and keep them from sighing.VI
And now we must mention the name of O Lane
Who was always well known for his good honest playing
Oh cheer him again boys cheer him with glee
From hilltop to valley all round by the sea.
