Name that reel and slip jig

Please help to name the reel that starts this set and the slip jig in the middle. What a cool group FC was.

Oi! Waddya mean "was"? FC are still going strong, and celebrating their 40th birthday this year...

Flatback Caper is a medley of the following tunes:- Miss Susan Cooper [Ronald Cooper] / The Friar's Britches [Trad.] / The Sport Of The Chase [Trad.] / Carolan's Concerto [O'Carolan]

BTW, I'd take issue with what that website claims are the tunes in the Dirty Linen medley on the same album (Full House) - the first two are surely Paddy be Aisy and Merry Blacksmith?

Sorry, DavyR- JUst listened to it to refresh my aging memory-it it is indeed Freeze Britches, played along with it and made the same mistakes that I seem to do with that tune. Need to go listen to the abc of the other pieces.
