    II
    As the Cappagh team marched to the field
    Amidst a ringing cheer
    A smiling glance from "Soldier" told
    the Cappaghs not to fear
    Cheer for the Shannon city boys
    and their cheers were not in vain
    They met a team who were full keen
    the laurels for to gain.
    III
    Now both the teams are on the field
    and Cappagh wins the toss
    The referee he lines them up, and the hurleys they cross
    The whistle now is in his mouth
    the watch is in his hand
    The ball is up amongst the men.
    Kilmeedy takes comand.
    IV
    The ball is at the Cappagh side
    there's danger on their line.
