FR CASEY’S MINOR CHAMPIONS 2011

Raymond | Category: Poetry Corner | 0 Comments

 

 Father Casey’s beat gallant Saint Kieran’s

To capture their eighth minor crown.

We greeted the team at Mountmahon

And marched them in triumph through the town.

………………….

Forget not our captain, Eoin Kelly,

And James Meara who guarded the goal;

Tim Tobin was brilliant at midfield.

Jack Breen is a star on a roll.

………………………

 Joe Browne, Tommy Keeffe and Paddy Lane;

As good a young backline as you’ll see.

Young Dean and Keith Harnett, twin brothers,

Are sons of the wonderful Dee.

…………………….

John Quirke and young Dara outstanding.

Chris Smith and T.J. on the ball;

Darren Keane and Daniel Daly were tireless,

But Shane O’Connor was the best of them all.

……………………………

In the subs we had young Danny Harnett,

Paudie Welsh and young Patrick Brislane.

James O’Connor is fond of the football,

But Patrick prefers the caman.

………………………..

Three cheers for the gallant St Kieran’s.

Sean McSweeney, best forward on view.

God bless the young men from the Fealeside;

Our heroes are dauntless and true.

…………………………..

John Lenihan, Tom Cahill and Georgie

Were an excellent management team.

Our seniors will conquer next season.

Monaleen might run out of steam.

                                                                                         Sean O’h-Airtneide.
