The match was played on St Patricks Day, 1889. (no title)
“In summer time in eighty nine...”
1
In summer time in eighty nine
All on the present year
When Ballingarry and Shinrone
Did meet those mountaineers
The word went round upon the ground
Let hat would be their doom
They would gain the day or men they
would slay
Before they would go home
2
God bless our noble father
May the heavens be his guide
T'was he who ruled the field that day
And kept down whiten tide
It's for their noble referee
He tried both scheme and skill
In throwing in some outside balls
To keep them down the hill.(continues on next page)- Collector
