Ceapairí

A call came out for someone to make some sandwiches for our clubs long distance away fixture at runaway leaders Derry City.

Its still not clear what was in them but it worked, we won 1-0.

Some like them plain
Just cheese or just ham
With butter or not
Sandwich spread or spam

There’s pickle and onion,
Or mayo and relish
Whatever will best
your sandwich embellish

Pork and onion with mayo
On Granny Pan Bread
Grand Auntie Madgie
At lunch time me fed

Taytos or sugar
Boring or thrilling
You really can have
Just about any filling

What ever was in
them for the Derry game
Inspired the victory
Please more of the same.
