The Final Ode

When the 24 men from Foyle
Arrive at the great Ballybrakes
Its as good to us as home soil
And a great advantage that makes

Oriel will come for the kill
Their team will be out for the win
But in their way, and we will
Foyle Zone, and the passion within

Its years since our team has been here
And about time we showed the rest
That due to our total lack of fear
Foyle will stand up to the test

What will the doubters say
As they sit and watch from the side
Will this be our big day
Time and bowls will decide

No matter the result of the game
And who performs and plays on the mat
The outcome will be just the same
The game wins , simple as that

For bowls is what we all love
The game, the people, the craic
It fits like a hand in a glove
Once tried, you never go back

So lets all look forward with hope
That we can put on a show on the day
And onto the slippery slope
Our opponents will just slip away
