Mark Ellis The Hurler Poem by Francis Duggan

A famous Gaelic Games player and a marvelous athlete
Mark Ellis the hurler the Pride of Millstreet
As Millstreet's only ever Cork senior hurler in Ireland famed and known
One can say of Mark he is in a class of his own

Mark Ellis the skillful and tall center half back
From the heart of the defense sends Cork into attack
In the big hurling parks of Ireland he has carved his renown
A man to be proud of in old Millstreet Town

Dark haired and handsome the Cork fans of him feel so proud
When the sliothar is with Mark the cheering is loud
From a Town of many famous Gaelic Footballers a great hurling player
In Millstreet with Mark Ellis no other hurler that one can compare

A Cork senior hurler from Millstreet i never thought i would see the day
For his Club in the green and gold great games of football and hurling he does play
With the best centre half backs in hurling in Ireland Mark Ellis does rate
In Millstreet they now have their own hurling great.
