    A man of fame M. Connolly
    Who made a gallant show.

    T. Drohan blocked the ball about
    And kept on his man without a doubt
    Whilst young Griffin kept siding out
    As quick as meet or fail
    P. Kearns he worked most bravely
    And that powerful man named Gazely
    Played up the forward game.

    The next was Whelan down from Glen
    The seed and breed of plucky men
    While J. Thompson too was seen again
    Where e'er the ball did roll
    Thomas Power that favourite of mine
    And the redoubtable Jim O'Brien
    Whilst McGrath and Nugent were just in time
    And Brown upon the goal

    Now I think I have named them all
    And when again the rolls I'll call
    I hope to find them at the ball
    In answer to my rhyme.
    And from that day may they long reign
    For to uphold their country's fame
