“Lines by John Ryan, Patrickswell, in memory of Joseph Pickergille who lived near Adare...”
(continued from previous page)Should wither neath his frown,
'Tis not alone his social loss,
We'll have to contemplate,
The workers who were in bâs charge,
Might want their bit to ate.
And should Clonshire get broken,
'Twill then go forth that men of sport
Are on the labour dole.We hope a master will be seen
Of all gentlemen the cream,
To uphold the horn and the whip
With high credit and esteem.
Who will support the county club
And still its record save
Just as did Joseph Pickerville
A sportmen time and brave.
