The Galway Game by Tony Fallon 22326

It was a cold any windy evening in Salthill town

Fog was in the air and the rain was lashing down

We knew lady luck was absent when we n Galway won the toss

And even our loyal fans knew we faced a possible loss 

Our lads moved quickly and were soon  two points ahead

But Galway soon  made us realize  they weren't dead

The rest of the half they had our backs to the wall

And poor Brady was tired of kicking out the ball

In the second Galway scored two as the pitch was getting mucky

Now thirteen ahead they were about to become unlucky

The boys in blue and gold were not to be denied

Their scores kept rolling like the incoming tide

Even though there were no breaks in wind or weather

They were like champions all pulling together

To get ahead on points was their only goal

And they went about that last with heart and soul

They scored one point here and another there

The score kept. rising then a few goals with flair

The last goal left the home crowd stunned

And they suddenly realized they were outgunned

The game is now controlled by a computer

Far away in New York I was so glad to hear the hooter

The game will long because spoke n about near and far

Just like when Aiden Brady pulled down the crowbar

In that other game with Galway below in Castlebar,
