    The forwards are attacking hard
    great work depends on Boyce.
    They play the ball against a wall
    a wall of gallant men.
    But at last they see and take their chance

    The puck out by Moss Hennessy, was
    worthy of all praise
    He centered well to Dan Herlihy who
    had the leather raised
    He had the leather raised my boys
    and well his burden bore
    Which he sent along to Joe Bregan
    who then quickly did score.

    There goes Mick Gibbons at full speed
    he is at great pace
