Sounds like Rathfarnham are coming across the Liffey full of intent. Four years in a row of going home empty handed has them trying their hand at song writing - see below !
Rathfarnham's Time
Verse 1
In Raheny’s park where the cold winds bite, The masters gather for the fight, With spikes in mud and hearts of steel, We chase the dream, we turn the wheel.
Verse 2
The Liffey waits for the prize to cross, Through muck and hills, no fear, no loss,Green-clad warriors, bold and fast, We’ll claim the crown, we’ll hold it fast.
Chorus
Oh, Rathfarnham, raise your song, Through mud and muck, we march along, Fight for Hooper, fight for pride, Bring that trophy to our side!
Verse 3
Raheny stands with their mighty crew, White and green, their numbers grew, But Rathfarnham’s roar will shake the ground, When fifty strong, our boots pound
Verse 4
Sportsworld, DSD, and MSB, Clonliffe, Crusaders, all we see, Brothers Pearse and Blackrock too, But none will stop the green we brew!
Chorus
Oh, Rathfarnham, raise your song, Through mud and muck, we march along, Fight for Hooper, fight for pride, Bring that trophy to our side
Verse 5
Through muck and mire, through rain and pain, We’ll fight for glory, we’ll stake our claim, The Pat Hooper shines like a beacon bright, We’ll drag it home in Rathfarnham’s light!
Verse 6
From thirty-five to seventy years, We’ll charge the hills, we’ll drown the fears, With every stride, with every cheer, The trophy’s ours, the day is near
Chorus
Oh, Rathfarnham, raise your song. Through mud and muck, we march along, Fight for Hooper, fight for pride, Bring that trophy to our side
Bridge
No fear in hills, no task too tough, Through spikes and sludge, we’ve got the stuff, Across the Liffey, hear us roar, The Pat Hooper’s ours forevermore!
Outro
So lift your voice and lift your glass, For Rathfarnham green will never pass, Through Raheny’s park, we’ll blaze the way, And bring that crown home on the day!
The drive for five goes on - Raheny Abu !
