The men who for Killarney Road Rovers did play
From Neily Duggan’s Inch Field some of them live far away
Whilst some of them in and near Millstreet did stay
And a few of them deceased which does seem sad to say
But as is often said few things seem to last
The Killarney Road Rovers a Football Club are a Football Club of the past
They will never play in the Inch Field again
And only the memories of them now remain
The men who lined out for K R R now showing their years in gray
One might say they have known a far better day
They enjoyed their prime years and their games of football
And of the past they have happy memories to recall
The men who played for K R R many years past their prime
They too have been slowed by the passing of time
On Sundays against Cork and Kerry Clubs their fans watched them compete
In the field known as The Inch near the Town of Millstreet.
Those were the days Francie,a long time ago now.Great times and thanks for the memories.
I remember togging off in Neily’s parlour in front of a roaring fire and then going out in the freezing cold! Great days with Connie Tarrant banging in the goals and Jerry “the captain” O’Connor the enforcer at the back. We enjoyed sending the kerry boys home with nothing but bruises to show for their visit to the Inch.
