His legend in death outlives his Worldy fame
The Christy Ring Bridge in Cork is to honour his name
Of Ireland's great hurlers arguably the greatest of all
His name is synonymous with the sliothar ball
His record in hurling may never be beat
Eighteen Railway Cup medals a remarkable feat
Munster and All Ireland and Cork County Championship medals the hurler supreme
In the hurling field an invincible or so he did seem
Good hurlers are many great hurlers are rare
In Ireland's National game a decorated player
One never found to be wanting when put to the test
He played against and overshadowed Ireland's best
Greats of sports like all greats to the Reaper do fall
But the legend of Ring hurling purists recall
Eighteen Railway Cup medals his record will stand
Never to be equalled in hurling in Ireland.
