Neily Lehane

Whenever the Slanan Rovers Gaelic Football Club lined out to play Their founder member Neily Lehane from them never far away Always on the sideline cheering them on Back there in Duhallow in Seasons long gone One of Duhallow's great characters of him one can say I often do wonder where he might be today? Neily Lehane one who was well liked and well known He was one of those blessed with a charm of his own The Gaelic Football Club he helped to establish five decades ago Were the Pride of Cloghoula till time the old foe Of everyone and everything had the final say On Slanan Rovers and no Gaelic Football Club in Cloghoula today Eventually for us all from life's cares there's a final release Well known Slanan Rovers identities Frank Riordan, Danny Healy and Dave Sheehan now resting at peace And even the youngest of the Slanan Rovers players now long past their physical prime Eventually we all become victims of time For the what used to be i have shed my last tears And as for Neily Lehane i have not heard of or seen him for years But i hope he is happy and healthy and feeling okay For good memories of him remain with me today.
