TOURS U-12’S DOUBLE SUCCESS

-By Johnny Walsh.

A unique achievement for Tour in the County of Mayo

Winning All-Ireland glory 2^nd year in a row

In the aftermath celebrations all did happily join

For the boys who numbered seven and the girls who numbered nine

Jessie from Dromtrasna played with zeal and flair

Sinéad magical, melodic, representing Knockanaire

Eimear from Gortnaskeha celebrated all night

While Knockaderry’s William Guiry roared with delight

Padraig on the banjo, King of Knocknasna

Susan will ne’er forget that day in Ballina

Joanne and Melissa played to beat the band

One queen from Knocknadiha, The other queen from Strand

Karen and Susan smiled in joyful glee

Shouting together “Up Broadford and Killeedy”

Patricia said for her it was a heavenly dream

While Martha savored sweet success for lovely Killaculleen

The bonfires blazed, the crowd amazed, Helen did sweetly sing

A great weekend for sweet dear Tour

A personal triumph for Michael King

Martin and David on the accordions were great

Gerard on the tin whistle delighted with their fate

That great success we’ll savor, for Tour’s tradition

Fulfilling and rekindling the U-12’s ambition

May those geniuses continue to display their talents more

Giving great enjoyment to the people in the country o’er and o’er

Congratulations and well done again a unique double for sure

You’re forever in the Annals and the history of Tour.
