THE ROAD TO AUCHRIM ’07 (NEIL DONOHOE)

DELIRIUM TREMENS (CHRISTY MOORE)

Hello to the poiteen in Andy’s, for the final we have won,

Now we’re headin up to Mooney’s, cause there’s drinkin to be done.

Oh as I sat lookin up at the replay I could never figure out,

How your man scored the winner from 14 yards out.

Oh I dreamt a dream the other night, I couldn’t sleep a wink,

Jimmy Clarke was tryin to count the sheep, and the team were off the drink,

There were tyre marks on the football pitch, and Billy Craul was out with the gun,

But sure when all the young lads saw him comin didn’t they all go on the run.

Well up in Mooneys pub, up at the fireplace, there wasn’t Mick O Dwyer, Kevin O Brien, and Philip McGillicuddy and the three of them were starin me in the face,

Well suddenly it dawned on me they wanted me to play, I said jaysus lads I’d love to when meself, Padge and Dad are finished with the hay.

Oh as I sat lookin up at the replay I could never figure out,

How your man scored the winner from 14 yards out.

Well Kilbride were still in the championship and they were goin full swing, Niall Toolis was center forward and Mark Kelly was on the wing,

With Padge at center back, sure he always got in the block, and Diarmuid was full back, he was as solid as a rock.

Duffy and Shane were center field, and Noel was mindin the net, and it didn’t look good at half time cause we were getting bet.

Well after we won the semi final we hit The West and dined we knew for the final we’d need a new star man, but the Cavan man was all we could find.

Oh as I sat lookin up at the replay I could never figure out,

How your man scored the winner from 14 yards out.

Paul Keogh was number 13, full forward he was startin, and one wing back was Hotsy and the other it was Martin,

Oh when the match it started we all clicked into place, this time it wasn’t goin to be Cill Bhríde that nearly won the race,

We were level in the final minute and couldn’t get the winnin score, but then Fergus Daly picked the ball straight off the floor,

And in the end we won the game we won it from that free, and it wasn’t Noel, Austin, Diarmuid, Kev, Martin, Padge, Cormac, Kelly, Duff, Mark, Tooley, Ciaran,or Keogh who took it, it wasn’t even me,

Jonesy took it from about 14 yards out. ‘Good man ref you b****x’ McKeon he let a shout.

Well Jonesy hit it sweet and it sailed straight over the lat.

Finally a championship back in Kilbride after 39 years and be jaysus that was that!!!!!!!!!!!
