Daingean Win the Cup!

Daingean Daingean maroon and white fight for the cup with all your might

Daingean Daingean you’re a great team with Walsh and Milne lording midfield.

The trophy’s on the line so it’s time to shine, Farrelly’s shouting on the sideline

Conan Curly is a master goalie, Lads kick it in to Odhrán Connolly!

Chorus: 

Daingean Daingean you’re going to be the ones to beat the Tullamore team

We’re all behind you, drive it on, lets go and bring the cup home!

Stephen Burns making turns, while Tierney slots a few frees

Higgins makes decisions while Brophy blocks, the Tullamore lads taking shots.

Chorus

Charlie Hayes makes some plays while Jamie sends them over all day

Joyce and Bolger up and down the line with Mcevoy and Evans doing fine.

Ferguson and Feely moving freely, Lets all work together and finish our journey.

Chorus
