**Source:** [[http://www.boggartsbreakfast.org.uk/|Boggart's Breakfast]]
**Chorus:** (B music) While stepping, middle (#5) dibs ground, then clashes 2x with #1, then repeat with #2, #3, and #4 (anticlockwise around the set).  Meanwhile, each of dancers #1-4 (while stepping) dibs the ground and then either clashes once or raises the stick in the air.  The order for #1 is: clash with center, raise stick in the air, clash left (once), clash right (once).  #2 starts clashing right, #3 starts clashing left, and #4 starts raising stick in the air.  Sequence is repeated twice.
