    Local Poets
    There is a man in Killeshandra who made up a poem about the Crohen League. His name is Tommy Gilronen.
    Poem
    "Roll along Crohen league roll along.
    You thought you had Magee but you were wrong.
    If you want to win the cup you had better hurry up.
    Roll along Crohen league roll along."
