AN URHAN TEAM OF THE 60's 1 Through the hush and the silence my heart starts a dreaming. My thoughts they take flight to the place I adore. So I sit by the fireside where sunlight is streaming, and I'm swept in my fancy to Urhan's fair shore. 2 In reverie absorbing I travel, o'er the townland of Urhan from Cahir to Gort. Then I glide by Travara and ramble from the strand to the mountain behind Ahabrock. 3 I've an excellent view of the townland beneath me with its natural bound'ries of mountain and sea like a miniture nature, secluded completely with its frontiers by warriors protected and free. 4 Just as Ireland rejoices in freedom from slavery, and treasured the heroes who banished her foe. so the townland of Urhan is proud of her brave ones, and the glories and triumphs of the young and the old. 5 In the realms of football this townland is peerless. Its fair history is dotted with records go leor. By the playing fields of Ireland her famed sons are fearless when they think of the hopes of their fathers at home. 6 So, let's drink a glad toast to the present selection who are champions of Beara, and champions of Cork. They have set a high standard of football perfection and have Downey's congested with Trophies and Cups. 7 For six years they have lorded o'er Beara completely. They've defended their title of champions supreme. With attempts to detrone them they've dealt with severely. They won out the County --- oh, what a fifteen !! 8 Long be their mem'ry in Urhan be treasured. Let their names be inscribed in the roll of the best, and when time has brought changes in far distant places, their mem'ry will still in their homeland be blest. 9 Now, the sun in the russet horizon is stealing, and the dusk and twilight are mingling with "smoke". So good luck to the champions who have set our lives dreaming, and long may they live by Urhan's famed shore. This was a song about the Urhan team in Beara in the 60's. * ----- Riobard *
