SPORTING PAT [1]. Irish, Reel. A Dorian ('A' part) & G Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. No relation to “Sporting Paddy” [1] or [2]. The reel is similar in the first strain to “Copperplate (2) (The),” although Breathnach (1963) disagrees with O’Neill that it is also a variant of “Rakish Paddy.”
