LaSalette Rugby 2011

THEY
PRAYED
ON
THE
PITCH

Sometimes they win
Score a try
Not a glitch

But always before
They prayed
On the pitch.

Sometimes they lose
Pressed down in
A ditch

But always before
They prayed
On the pitch.

Tackle and ruck
Bloody wounds
Need a stitch

But always before
They prayed
On the pitch.

Strapping young scholars
Who bait
And then switch

But always before
They prayed
On the pitch.

Now enfolded in blue
Mary’s mantle
Their niche

Because always before
They prayed
On the pitch!
