Thread Name: Obit: George Best (November 2005)
Subject: RE: Obit: George Best (November 2005)
McGrath [this has nothing to do with George Best] regarding songs about sporting heroes, Patrick Kavanagh who played in goals for Inishkeen had a poem on his local team, a couple of lines I can re-call,
O, Inishkeen came on the field
and they were filled with pride,
But they fell before the Fontenoys
like grass before a Scythe.
Although the boul Patrick would have been proud of his heroes yesterday as they won the Ulster Itermediate Championship for the first time.
