Of What Used To Be But May Not Be Again Poem by Francis Duggan

On Sundays in Summer with roses in bloom
On the hill overlooking the football park in Macroom
Millstreet fans often watched their football team in the Cork senior championship play
This is something that does not happen today
Of a senior County championship Millstreet football fans no longer dream
Since nowadays Millstreet does not have a senior football team
They only have memories of the days of old
When in Coachford and Macroom they often did cheer on the famed green and gold
One of the best clubs in Cork county but that was long ago
The used to be great club is no longer so
And only the memories with Millstreet's aging fans remain
Of what used to be but may not be again
Since nowadays they do not stand on the hill in Macroom
To watch their team play when the flowers are in bloom.
